Why not turn the question on its head: Would a black SNL actor be white enough to play Obama? Didn't the last SNL guy to mock Obola die under "mysterious circumstances"?

It’s called “acting”, retards. It’s pretend.
Was it racist against Russians to have the Scot Sean Connery play one in “The Hunt for Red October”?
A Black girl played “Annie”.

Then there were the cowboys and Indians where all of the Indians were white

Crowe should have told them if he wanted to cast the part with an Irish woman in blackface and pigtails that was his business and either watch the movie or don’t. People must stand up to the identity politics nonsense.

The only Eurasian actor I know of is Keanu Reeves, and he looks pretty white.
To: Kaslin
I saw the movie...Emma Stone did a real good job, in what was a pleasant couple of hours. It did feature Hawaiian scenes, culture, and history, so the gripes seem insane.
Think about where this leads. "Cinderella" should not have had blacks if there were no blacks in the courts at the portrayed time. Gays, straights, and trans-genders should only portray those with the same identities. Anyone playing HS students should be that age. etc.
Is anyone thinking of the logical outcome of their demand for authenticity? Come to think of it, I'd be all for it if they stopped it with the token minority actors in places where they wouldn't show up in real life.
End of this rant

But it’s not pretend to them, it’s their propaganda, their dream, for what they want the world to look like.

Native Hawaiians wanted a Native Hawaiian cast in the role And just how much money did these Native Hawaiians have invested in the freaking movie? STFU!

Those movie Indians werent white, they were Sicilian. ;^) Don't ever tell a Sicilian she's not white, nor a Canadian, Frenchman, Spaniard . . . and especially not a Russian -

Dean Cain, too. (Real name Dean George Tanaka, he is of French Canadian, Irish, Welsh, and Japanese extraction.)

Such nuttiness has been underway for awhile. Remember when Disney’s Pocahontas cartoon came out, all the VOICE actors for Indians had to be real Indians.

Holy smoke, I forgot that this is a joke-free zone!
It used to be, though, that a large percentage of movie-extra Indians were of Sicilian background.

Aren’t these Hollywood types the same ones who promoted the TV Cinderella version with Brandy as Cinderella and a Philipinno actor as the Prince who was a son of Whoopi Goldberg and a Euro-American actor? Whitney Houston was the fairy Godmother.

That’s how it was played on my block as a kid in the 50’s.
