I’d say “Hamilton!” balances the scales.
Wayan Brothers in White Chicks ???? crickets as usual.
I'm confused. Seems putting black actors into roles of historic figures who were white, people in time periods and places where blacks were rare as hens' teeth (in Britain the BBC is doing this as explicit policy .. "Coloured" Cockneys and Victorian toffs everywhere) and roles obviously written with no particular skin pigment in mind, is okay. But the inverse is oppression.
I am glad to see Native American (Anti-PC's, please don't get bent out of shape. I'm part Cherokee and Lenape myself and have no ancestry from the Indian sub-continent) roles being played by fine actors like Wes Studi. It replaces the old practice of putting paint and feathers on Sicilians. Imagine Sean Connery in blackface as Shaka Zulu. Even Lord Olivier as Othello made me cringe. So the old Hollywood and theatrical practice of never employing non-whites in lead roles is happily past. But somewhere all this rampant obsession with race and trying to make up for ancient wrongs with patent absurdity just has to stop.
LOL
They are ACTING, playing dress up and make believe. Geesh!
