A white male actor friend complained that there are now not enough roles for white actors.

As an actor and a person of color, I was surprised and a little amused that he thought minorities are suddenly being bombarded with roles and stealing roles from white actors. Is this a common sentiment among white actors these days?

What kinds of roles are people getting called in for?

What would be a good language to learn that would help me earn a role in the future?

I know some American actresses have played foreign characters, so what language might benefit my career? I know Spanish fairly well, but I don't think that'd land me any roles as I don't look like a Spanish speaker. I was thinking French, but if you all know...

Mumbling actors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpUznQds8p4 I really need to know: do you guys understand anything the narrator is saying in this? If you were a producer, would you accept this kind of delivery? Maybe I'm deaf, but it's beyond me how this could be released...
