Liberals didn’t raise a stink over the black Annie, Hamilton or The Wiz.

Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra. There was hardly a minority role back then that was played by anyone who wasn’t white.

It’s a good thing that race doesn’t exist. Else whites might stand up for themselves.

That was a good episode.

I liked how Sakura got scammed at the end.

That is if I am thinking of the right episode.

Joel Grey played Chuin, a Korean martial arts instructor.

And the list goes on and on and on.

Barry was more white than anything else but he played a black POTUS. Michelle played a gorgeous classy woman.

Don’t tell them that a White guy, Donald O’Connor actually played the role of Aladdin in a 1961 movie and not a shit was given!

Both were abject failures.

Cleopatra was not what we would now call a minority.

Macedonians were typically light skinned and often blonde. Alexander The Great was blond. Cleopatra was descended from one of his generals.

I’m sure they found some way to make it pornographic, so what’s the gripe?

I’m sure you meant homo-pornographic, right? Otherwise, that’s just homophobic.

Maybe it’ll be like the guy in Britain that got a sex change, then transferred to the women’s prison, and was making unwanted advances on the women in the prison with him? That’s inclusive enough, right?

John Wayne as Genghis Khan. or Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder. It shows range and talent.

“Prince Anders”

Yeah, that’s right out of the Arabian nights.

Far be it from me to ever, ever agree with the anti-white racists of the left, but I’d think they could find some Bollywood heart throb to play Alladin.

Full disclosure: did not read entire article.

Was casting Denzel Washington as Robert "Bob" McCall in The Equalizer blackwashing?
