Acting as a profession would like to see itself as being egalitarian, in it's most idealized form. It often isn't. Racists often like using such ideas of Utopian high-mindedness for their mischief. Whether Quinn had the idea himself to make that movie or the money people whispered in his ear...it's not his film to make. And until such ongoing attempts at cultural theft get addressed, it will keep happening.

The way Hollywood worked then, is that whoever can get the financing and distribution is going to be the one who gets to tell the story.
It's Quinn's arrogance and ignorance that would have made him the wrong person to tell the story (even as a producer), not his race.

Luckily today the entry barriers for being a film maker have been reduced, so people can tell their own stories and not have to wait for Hollywood biopics.
