You don’t believe in casting by merit, not skin color?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

You’re absolutely right. I’m going to cast Robert Downey, Jr. as Idi Amin Dada in my new Docudrama. And this time, he won’t be going full retard!

“You don’t believe in casting by merit, not skin color?”
So, if the merit was there, you think the female lead could have been played by a man?

[nopardons]

That's patently ridiculous; especially when it's an historical person!

Anne Boleyne was NOT black!

Our FFs were NOT black!

And though Carousel was originally written by and about Hungarians, the musical was all American and NO...not a one of them were black!

Do you want to see PORGY AND BESS with an all white cast? How about RAISIN IN THE SUN, with an all white caste? Shaka Zulu starring Charlton Heston as Shaka?

Mmerit? Really? No white actors or actresses have the "merit"/ability to portray white people?

There was a casting call for a “differently abled” Tarzan!

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

To be color blind, it is time for an all Asian cast of Porgy and Bess, which as we all know was written by the Gershwins who were oddly not black....
