CMTSU! Well, I guess the absurdity continues. Based on an earlier post about some black sorority being called diverse by someone broadcasting something about the Macys parade. Think they're PO'd now, wait until the remake of roots comes out with matt mcononahee(sp) or jim carey playing kunta kinte. Hey, if it's good enough for 'jefferson'............. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

Why was it ok for “Hamilton” to have black actors and actresses playing the parts of people who were white?
To: Dilbert San Diego
LOL! That’s what I meant. Not ‘jefferson’. DOH! More cofveve.

Maybe they did a casting call and couldn’t find actual American Indian girls to play the parts?

Last I checked Montana nearly has a 90% White population. I think that most kidnap victims in the state would be White, but you can’t use logic when arguing with triggered and brainwashed people!

Any day now those CSI shows with all their white victims will be panned as insensitive to black victims of crime.

The Jeffersons for ‘20.
A white couple moves into an ever more gentrified black neighborhood in Harlem.

While I think the cultural appropriation angle is BS, how hard can it be to find two girls who actually are part of a tribe and actually look the part? Hell, Longmire did it with ease.

I must be missing something here. Isn’t this book a novel? In other words fiction? How could changing characters of kidnap victims in a piece of fiction be cultural appropriation? SMFH

On season 6 now. Weird thing is it’s a nutzflix series and haven’t seen the lgbtqrpxyz lean yet. Some AIM comments but you know, the rez and stuff. Could that be why no season 7? Or not enough POC in the show?

Seems to be a lot of females missing on the reservation.

Does anyone else see where this is heading? We’re going to wind up with arguments about purity of the blood. Just wait.
To: Dilbert San Diego
Big Sky has a black actress playing a white person. It IS Montana, after all...

SMFHI still can't get over the "cultural appropriation" (NOTE: shouldn't that be "RACIAL appropriation?") of Gene Rodenberry for not casting actual Vulcans, Tellerites, Klingons, etc. to portray alien characters!

I could almost back them on this one, if it weren’t for my fulling expecting them to have made another kind of complaint had the victims indeed been portrayed as NA.
