He’s right. Who wants to hear a flat line foreign interpretation of Real American Life? It is absurd to cast British blacks in films that detail inside baseball on american culture and history.

Not really no. For one thing they don't even know what irony is.

The same goes for white film parts - who wants to see a brit playing abraham lincoln or george patton?

How this guy keeps his job flogging credit cards is beyond me. He is thoroughly unlikable.

Because white cucks think he's "cool and badass."

Not sure why everyone else is critical of his comments.
All he seems to be saying is, “Hire American.”

Like Spain & Portugal, England kept its slaves at a distance - oceans away from the homeland. IIRC, all 13 colonies had slaves - and 75 years after independence those that outlawed it fought a war that outlawed it in the rest.

It’s a Muslim name. Muslim isn’t a race. I have an Irish first name and French middle name, but I’m neither Irish nor French.

Well, Sammy, they’d be cheaper even if they got the same salaries because they show up on time, take direction, don’t abuse the grips or other crew.... You know, they behave like professionals not millionaire spoiled hoodrat jacka$$es.

Also British black actors are articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guys with no Negro dialect, unless they want to have one.
