She is right. White actors shouldn't be casted in biblical roles


Noah and Exodus for example. Whites working/fighting in the Middle East sun without sunburn or skin cancer is just wrong. There was no SPF 100 back then.

That's not what she said.... She said "people should stop stealing white people's superheroes"

And "to make something original and stop being lazy"

She's stupid, minorities do make many original characters, but Hollywood keeps stealing them and turned the roles into whitewashed.

Look at all of the whites in the Mid East. Not all of them are brown. Saddam was light, and so is the King of Jordan

reply

True, but they're in the minority. Hollywood is picking from the smallest pool, just to keep things 'light'.

reply

What do you mean by in the minority? there are just as many light skinned people in the mid east, then their are dark skinned.

reply

Light skin Middle Easterners don't look like white people though, they look like Hispanics, Saddam looked like a Hispanic guy.

Hispanics are minorities.

Here's an example of 4 light skin Persian girls, they don't look like white girls, they look more like Mexican girls.

Ok, agreed, but you need to be careful when you mention Hispanic because Hispanic comes from Hispania which is the area of the Iberian Peninsula named by the Romans which later became Spain and Portugal. And true Hispanics are white. A lot of them with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I lived in Spain for a year and hardly ever saw anyone with brown skin. Sure, there are those with brown skin, and this is because of the Moors ruling Spain at one time. Dark Spaniards like Penelope Cruz probably has Moorish blood in her.


My Grandpa was full Portuguese, and he had blond hair and blue eye, and was whiter than white.

That's semantics though, in actual reality most Mexicans in the US are minorities, and whatever names they prefer to call themselves ... I don't know "Latinos/Latinas, or South Americans."

Dark skin or light skin Middle Easterners look more like Mexicans than White people.

Look at this girl Geo, she's a full Mexican and she has light skin.
