I’m offended that there aren’t more black people depicted on all the crime shows......seems 99% of the crime committed is done by some white guy....that’s just not fair to the black actors.....:)
“Folks have strong opinions about how the race of actors should or shouldn’t relate to the characters they play”
Nonsense.
Seriously. Who cares?
There are more important things to get upset over like a traitor in the WH who is trying to destroy your nation when half the people in your country are willing to let him do it in the name of being color blind
No mention of the awful casting in The Lone Ranger, in which not only did they cast Johnny Depp as Tonto, but then he foolishly asked some Indians what he should look like to be “authentic”. And they, with considerable wit, told him to look like a jackass with a crow on his head.
By the way. THIS Tiger Lily (and the dance number) are absolutely adorable!

>> who is black, was cast as the Human Torch in Fantastic Four. Human Torch is a superhero who, as his name hints, can engulf his body in flames, control nearby fires and fly. When he’s not on fire (though he usually is), the comics show that he’s a blonde, white guy named Johnny Storm.
So, if Johnny Storm is black, will Susan Storm (his sister aka The Invisble Girl and Reed Richards’ wife) also be black?
Will that cause a backlash in the afercan-mercan commoonty by having a female black superhero whose superpower is becoming invisible (a’la “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison)?
Is this a well-crafted racist dog whistle??
Look at all the things to get “mad” about!
Just like the leftist totalitarian Fascist takeover isn’t happening.
Does that mean that the "Invisible Girl" is also going to be black and that Mr. Fantastic's wife is gonna be black?
Because she was the Human Torch's sister.
Stupid Politically Correct retro-fit historical revisionism.
Well we could go back to discussing what the news channels are covering (a missing Malaysian airliner or Obama’s college basketball picks).
The ivory tower isn’t going to let The Golden Child’s failures of this nation come to public discussion.
Why do we not demand affirmative action in films
Just the walk isn’t enough. You have to have the right clothes.

The race hustlers do. But they get their hush money to go away rather than protesting the entertainment industry.
Good question.
And we also want to know - How much for one rib?

“And in the never-ending ‘What Did Jesus Look Like’ battle...a Portuguese Catholic actor has been cast as Jesus in Son Of God...”
Well, that’s just silly. Everyone knows Jesus looks exactly like Jim Caviezel!
*SNORT*
And is the author of this piece REALLY named, ‘Kat Chow?’ Morris the Cat had BETTER play her in the movie version!
Will the leftist race-baiting never end? Probably not. It seems to be quite lucrative, as in ‘Filthy Lucre.’ (Titus 1:11)
I’m ticked off that Vulcans on Star Trek aren’t played by real Vulcans.
Kat Chow? But her boyfriend calls her Tender Vittles.
I saw a production of Der Fliegende Holländer at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus I think in 1990... if I recall correctly Senta was played by a large black woman... the production was rather “avant garde” with very odd sets... I distinctly recall the crowd booing and hissing. Tough crowd.
Step right up to the OutRage Smorgasbord. Come Aboard, A guaranteed HORRIBLE time for the entire family! Our motto is; You’ll Never Stop Complaining!! (or your money back)
