essentially they first hired baldwin, who was not a leading man but had already done some big movies, and it was going to be more of a traditional vehicle for baldwin.
then they hired sean connery, a genuine movie star, and he wanted them to expand on his character and make the soviets more interesting and human as a result. they had too or wanted to take advantage of connery’s star power and the result is a much better story.

“white” is a concept made up to justify slavery and white supremacy. you are actually hitting on something really important, the definition of being white HAS varied widely in history. when the concept of whiteness was first being developed, it was in order to justify categorizing people as white or non-white, and then the eugenics movement ran away with that concept to promote racial supremacy- not racial identity, but racial supremacy. so “white” as a category did indeed refer to specifically condoned peoples with supposed genetic, moral, intellectual superiority. and the definition of “white” did indeed vary then as well as now. irish, italian, slav, spanish, jews were all once distinctly non-white by the definition of “whites” at one point. the definition has changed since then because it has always been a non-scientific concept designed to identify “us” from “them” and justify the subjugation of whoever was considered non-white at the time.
looks like an accurate depiction of the effects poverty has on the human brain
i read rainbow six because i played the game, and while i enjoyed it, even me as a 13 year old boy was kind of disturbed by how 20% of the book is lurid descriptions of the beauty and efficiency of our weapons. long descriptions of how the troopers are super competent, long descriptions of the precision and mastery of the snipers, how the guns are well oiled and wonderful tools, etc. real psycho stuff. also the bad guys are environmentalists planning to kill everyone on the planet with a engineered virus lol
