Was There Need For The Italians To Apologise?

Oh dear how much more ridiculous can these racist accusations get?
Surely there is nothing wrong in featuring a mega star such as Brad Pitt on the poster of a film in which he stars in, regardless of the fact that he appears less in the film than a black actor?
In defence of the Italians, I would say that perhaps they are not so PC aware as we and the Americans seem to be.

Nothing to do with PC or racism. The Star is an unknown and his face is unlikely to sell the film. It was Nothing to apologise for. If he becomes famous, then I am sure he will feature prominantly on future posters.

If you had cared to look at the cast list you would have not failed to notice that there is.

And why not, I am certainly proud to be white, and proud of my culture also.
And although I can't possibly speak on their behalf, I am sure the vast majority of Black people are also proud of being black and proud of their culture.

if your actors are good enough, put them on the poster even if nobody's ever heard of them

It says a lot that Brad Pitt's agent didn't get him higher on the cast list ( was Brad Pitt listed high on the credits to the film itself; agents are very demanding in contracted credits?), and that the character is such that imdb haven't got a character biography.
It is misleading advertising, with a view to profit. But I can see how some black people might take it as a slur, that the poster pictures only a big, white, star in a minor role when the film is carried by a black character. By all means splash Pitt's name all over the poster, with the lead's, but don't pretend the film is plotted around this white actor.

I think that it is just that Brad Pitt is more instantly recognised than Chiwetel Ejiofor, nothing more, nothing less,
I am sure if the leading actor had been a black actor more recognisable such as Denzel Washington for example, his face would have been on the posters.
