And anyone who’s read “To Kill a Mockingbird” would be surprised if Atticus Finch was black on screen as well.

Man this is ridiculous!
Pakistani restaurants hire pakistanis (and can actually bring in pakistanis to America for that purpose even if their entire town is unemployed) because “they want to be authentic”.

AFAIK, there are no dark skinned Hobbits.

Quite the quip!Thanks for the chuckle.

She’ll probably complain about sex discrimination when she’s turned down for the role of Jimmy Hoffa, too.
To: naturalman1975
Stick her in a long shot, way in the back, where nobody can tell who she is, much less if she is a “Pale-Face”. Then use up all the pancake make-up on her mug.
To: naturalman1975
Hollyweird is the only industry that is allowed to discriminate.

Good thing they're not casting this movie today. ("Hey, so what if I'm 6'5"! I wanna be a Munchkin!")

LOL! If it ain’t about money, it’s always about “race”. That stuff is getting tired and old.

I think we should get Mel Gibson to play Nelson Mandella.

Hobbits are little Englishmen in both manners and mores living in an isolated region of Middle Earth..
Putting a person of color in the role would be the same as substituting neoNazis for Jihadists in a nuke terrorist attack—so utterly unrealistic...
oops,forgot about that pc wreck,”The Sum Of All Fears.”

Actually there are - the Harfoots. Sam Gamgee was one in the books.
Sam drew out the elven-glass of Galadriel again. As if to do honour to his hardihood, and to grace with splendour his faithful brown hobbit-hand that had done such deeds, the phial blazed forth suddenly, so that all the shadowy court was lit with a dazzling radiance like lightning; but it remained steady and did not pass.
The Fallohides were fair.

I volunteer to be Barky in his upcoming bio-pic. I have no acting experiencing and am melanin-challenged. Therefore, I'm perfect for the part.
And I want Summer Glau to play Shelly.
