	So I understand that any list will be controversial and it's difficult to find a cutoff, but the gallery of stars from the golden age shown seems to be a pretty comprehensive selection of the biggest stars but manages to miss Charlie Chaplin, arguably the dominant superstar for the critical early period with a career spanning throughout, and a single person of colour: Sidney Poitier, most obviously. Florence Lawrence, Dick van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Sessue Hayakawa - these are debatable choices. But Sidney Poitier and Charlie Chaplin? This literally includes the top 22 men and 22 women from the AFI's list of top stars except these two with Chaplin at 10th and Poitier the only one of colour - yet neither are even mentioned in the article. Poitier was a US citizen and Sophia Loren and Laurence Olivier were not, so that's not it either. ] (]) 19:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)		So I understand that any list will be controversial and it's difficult to find a cutoff, but the gallery of stars from the golden age shown seems to be a pretty comprehensive selection of the biggest stars but manages to miss Charlie Chaplin, arguably the dominant superstar for the critical early period with a career spanning throughout, and a single person of colour: Sidney Poitier, most obviously.

That plot summary should cut back to a single sentence which lists several films including "Moonlight" that include stereotypical depictions of black people as drug dealers, prostitutes, servants, etc. Then that freed up space could be used for more discussion of things like interracial relationships, blacksploitation, other stereotypes, light vs. dark skin color, actor screen time, pay etc. <b>] (]•])</b> 09:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Selection of stars

So I understand that any list will be controversial and it's difficult to find a cutoff, but the gallery of stars from the golden age shown seems to be a pretty comprehensive selection of the biggest stars but manages to miss Charlie Chaplin, arguably *the* dominant superstar for the critical early period with a career spanning throughout, and a single person of colour: Sidney Poitier, most obviously. Florence Lawrence, Dick van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Sessue Hayakawa - these are debatable choices. But Sidney Poitier and Charlie Chaplin? This literally includes the top 22 men and 22 women from the AFI's list of top stars except these two with Chaplin at 10th and Poitier the only one of colour - yet neither are even mentioned in the article. Poitier was a US citizen and Sophia Loren and Laurence Olivier were not, so that's not it either. Harsimaja (talk) 19:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Section on Race and Ethnicity

The section had only one main link (Chicano Films), so I included some more and also renamed the section because there is a separate section on women in film and this section seems to only contain content about race and ethnicity. The section needs lots of work. There is very little on how black people are depicted in film beyond exclusion, blackface, and an extensive plot summary of "Moonlight" which takes up most of the space in that paragraph. That plot summary should cut back to a single sentence which lists several films including "Moonlight" that include stereotypical depictions of black people as drug dealers, prostitutes, servants, etc. Then that freed up space could be used for more discussion of things like interracial relationships, blacksploitation, other stereotypes, light vs. dark skin color, actor screen time, pay etc. Sparkie82 (t•c) 09:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
