Why hire a black actor to do something when you could get a racial monkey wrench like Armisen to do it.
A what, now?
Quote from: P3nT4gR4m on June 21, 2013, 12:38:14 PMCertainly that's a point of view I can understand. I wasn't saying it's wrong in itself but that it creeps me out to see it. Maybe I should just suck it up and stop worrying about it because the times they are a changin.
I see race. I see weight, I see hair colour, height, clothes, uniform. If I had to describe someone who was black, I'd say he was a black guy. I ain't going to fuck about with african-scotsman or person of colour or whatever euphemistical bullshit I'm supposed to. By the same token I aint going to decide that, just since the dude is chinese or an albino or a midget that he's ... something other than that colour or height.
If Johnny Depp wants to play a native american, hell if anyone wants to. Isn't it being equally fucking racist to tell them they cant, just because they're the wrong race? Yeah, forgive me for not being able to take your hypocritical bullshit even remotely seriously.
Considering the fact that what is probably going to happen is he's going to make it look like native americans are the coolest motherfuckers ever, what's the grave offence exactly?
Quote from: The Johnny on June 21, 2013, 05:04:28 AMThe Last Samurai was more objectionable for its trotting out of the "White Guy saves primitives" storyline which is racist in itself and featured in other things like Avatar.
I just think that Tom Cruise playing "The Last Samurai" and Brad Pitt playing Achilles is much of an asshole move.
No, guy, Japanese and Greek heroes did not have American faces, please.
Quote from: Freeky Queen of DERP on June 21, 2013, 04:45:52 AMThought she was spanish. The wiki page says she claims pride in being Latina.
Why do you say that Zoe Saldana is not black, or imply she isn't? She looks black, and not just her skin tone. Wikipedia suggests that her dad is Dominican.
This is just something that is bugging me, and nobody has to get hostile with the response, because I am well aware I'm derpy as hell in this subject.
