Quote by Roger Ebert

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the shift in diversity representation in action movies and, by extension, in society. It highlights that it is no longer necessary for one character to be white while the other belongs to an ethnic minority as a sidekick. Rather, the quote suggests that action movies can now have two stars, one African American and one Asian American, challenging traditional racial stereotypes. This indicates a positive change in the film industry and society as a whole, where diverse representation is becoming more normalized and valued.
