It's a formula he's not interested in messing with.

"I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I don’t like white dudes," he said, nodding over to his moderator pal Roberts. "But I've seen that movie." The line drew loud applause and shouts of agreement.

Can you IMAGINE if a white director said he's had success putting white people on the screen and doesn't see himself casting a "black dude" as a lead......

One thing I can guarantee is there wouldn't have been applause and shouts of agreement from the audience.....

That's fine. He should be allowed to cast whomever he wants..... But the double standard.... Wow....

gotta know your audience.

If a white director said that he would be blackballed most likely. No problem with Peele doing that, but sometimes it is better to your mouth shut.

it also denigrates the actors he chooses by suggesting that they were picked based on color and not ability.

I do hope their daughters have finally found a reason to crack a smile. Don't think I've ever seen either happy after Election Night 2008.

You can say the same for any Madea movie. Remember the outrage everybody had when they made Annie black?
