Josephine wasn't black, was she?


They used a black actress, but the real Josephine wasn't black.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

She was black. An African American.

In the movie the character says she is native american and black.

Most African-Americans are mixed with something else. She WAS African-American.

Sorry for my political incorrectness, Native American AND African American. The character claimed both, I don't know what the real person claimed to be. I used to be just a person but now I am a European American, or a British Isle Colonest American. I check "Other" on the race box.

I just write in "human."
