Snowden is a white male
28 July 2016 | by See all my reviews

We know that Snowden is unfortunately Caucasian, but he could also be Black, Latino, Indian, Muslim or Gay.

There is nothing in his story that prevents him from being a woman too. His story is very generic. This would also give rise to tackling aspects which are still considered to be taboo after all these years. Interracial relationships could be explored here and lessons could be taught around this. So, why not instill a few positive messages and concepts within the movie? It could help others not see color or gender, as many of the previous generation do. Instead, they could see a Black Muslim hero they can believe in and aspire to be irrespective of the color of his skin or his race. We need to end the evils of blue-eyed "whiteness".
