Why did they cast Binoche and Byrne in hispanic roles ?
Both were very good but why not use latin actors
shareWhy cast them? Why not?
sharePeople freak out and even resort to boycotts and threats when a Black person is cast in a role that was traditionally played by non-Black people (i.e. "Phantom of the Opera", "Fantastic Four", James Bond, "The Wild, Wild,West"), but shrug their shoulders when a White person is cast to play a real person of color ("A Beautiful Mind", "A Mighty Heart", "33", Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson).
There is a double standard held by too many people who believe that when a White person is cast, they were the best choice, but when a person of color is cast in a non-stereotypical role, it's affirmative action or just being PC.
You have ice cream. Why are there tears?
I am not one of the people who have a problem with "people of color" playing traditionally "white" roles. I am a person of Puerto Rican decent. Having said that, I would like to point out you are comparing a person of one race playing a role traditionally played by a person of another race and a person of one race playing a person of the same race. As you probably know, referring to a person as Hispanic/Latino is not referring to their race, but their ethnicity. If I did not know Juliette's heritage, I would not have questioned her in the role as she does not look much unlike myself. I consider myself Hispanic. I have even referred to myself as a person of color because I do have a bit of color to me, however, the fact is my race is white. If anyone ever makes a movie about my fascinating life, Juliette is free to play me. Now, if they try to hire Viola Davis, that would just be weird.

People of color, eh??? That old chestnut.
So tell me (chin resting on overturned palms/interlaced fingers) is "white" not a color??? I've seen it in Crayola's Colored Crayons boxes.....OOPS!!!! Or should I say "Crayons of Color" LMAO!
By the way....please explain the difference between the term "People of Color" and "Colored People".....since they mean the exact same thing.....PC progress...gotta love libtards. share
Yeah, I'm going to pass on conversing with you as it seems like it would be a boring and uninteresting prospect. But thanks for your time!
No....you're gonna pass because brainwashed politically correct morons like you who have been conditioned to (or are too mindless to question) the liberal bullsh*t and idiotic "sayings" can't come up with a valid response to what I pointed out.
FACT: by saying you and others are "People of Color" you are calling you and them "Colored People"....a phrase people of your ilk wanted erased from history....scratch a liberal, get a contradiction...LOL.
OH and BTW....I could legitimately say I am a person of color....even though Caucasian my skin is a peach/light tan color (as are 99% of "whites") so I guess I qualify.....there are hardly any people who have near white skin unless you're talking about albinos.
The only people without color are transparent (and we don't know they're there because they're invisible).
Where did all this "black and white" stuff come from (that's rhetorical).
People don't exists on opposite extreme ends of a spectrum. I've never seen a "white" person - even albinos are not perfectly white. (And, ironically, albinism can affect anyone of any race!) Skin colors are more the same than they are different - they're all earth tones - despite our inaccurate labels you won't find any people of primary or secondary colors.
Technically speaking, black is the absence of color...
