Why does "Noni" look white on the movie poster?


I find it interesting how Hollywood is always trying to lighten up the skin tone of black females in movies.

The movie poster makes it look like a black guy with a white girl, lol.
That subtle Hollywood propaganda, you gotta watch out for it.

1. She's biracial and she IS half white.

2. She doesn't look like a white woman on the cover. She actually looks a bit like Rosci from 106th and Park on the cover. White people would not look at her and think she was all white.

3. Its not propaganda; its marketing. Propaganda would be if she actually was a white woman but if she was, one of them would have to die at the end; most likely him, because that's the general subtext in BM/WF IR relationships in Hollywood movies.

Gugu is biracial. You can't get much lighter than she already is, and she could never pass for white.

Most biracial women do not identify as being white or wish they were 100% white, where are you getting these absurd statistics from
