LOL. These PC casting decisions make movies unintentionally hilarious. Remember the plot contortions that were necessary to get Morgan Freeman into Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood?
Besides, I’d love to see a Muslim Hobbit. Think of the plot possibilities.

Were there any decisions based on color of skin when they were Filming Malcom X?
Did they consider an Asian woman for the role of Malcom X?

I've come to believe that most complaints about race these days equal, give me something for nothing.

I'd discriminate against you because you're a frickin' idiot.

Naz Humphreys makes a good point. I mean Whoopie Goldberg would make a great Snow White.

Meanwhile, I was told I was too old for a modeling gig even though I played the same age (25) for a movie during the same time period. It happens. It is how the director envisions things. Not a personal insult.

PC moron. Hey! Can you imagine a white person whining because they don’t get to play... I dunno, Al Sharpton in a biopic?
There’s a certain point where liberals should just start having DUMB ASS rubber stamped on their foreheads, just to warn anyone around to ignore them whenever they speak.

From the LOTR Prologue, Concerning Hobbits:
‘The Harfoots were browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless...

I bet no white, or Pakastani, or Japanese women were considered for Angela Bassett’s role in “What’s Love Got to do With It”. Than again, Yule Brenner played the king of Siam...
The race card is played to death.

Plotting to hijack Smaug then to crash him into the Two Towers I suppose... Well, he did smash Lake Town, after taking an arrow to the breast.

Every ethnic restaurant I’ve been to hires mexicans. Chinese, mediteranian, korean, japanese...whatever. they all hire mexicans. Sometimes even the mexican restaurants hire mexicans.
