STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CAST!!!!!
I think you guys are complaining too much about the cast. REALLY.
1) Why does it matter if Liz is black? It's not like they're making the whole series of movies. Maybe they didnt think it was necessary because they're not making the movie from the book in which her dad is racist. And perhaps they could make it so he's racist against Asians? It doesn't always have to be between blacks and whites.
2) Have you seen the Twilight cast? I mean really, this is nothing compared to the mistakes they made in Twilight. Edward? He's supposed to have reddish-blonde hair! OMFG! BIG MISTAKE! THAT'S A HUGE DETAIL!!!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE
3) AND OMFG! ALICE'S HAIR ISN'T SHORT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sarcasm*
All you people need to stop complaining and GET A LIFE.
