Looking back, I’d say that she was more obviously part-Asian than Naomi Osaka, who of course wasn’t a public figure at the time.
†because everybody knew Quincy produced Thriller with Jackson and even non-music folks thinks its the greatest album of all time and a cultural event.
My knowledge of scientific genetics could fit in a thimble, but isn’t there some deal where things can get shuffled so much that suddenly (for example) you wind up with an obviously mostly black kid, pelo matter how far back the black relative is? (As in, once you go black, you never go back).
Your point about gender-swapping is particularly stupid. The boys were made up to look like women, and when they grew beards, they were out of a job. Likewise a white actor playing Othello was made up to look like a “Moor.â€
They want to marry the offspring of their white “enemy†while pretending that they are all the same “race.â€
‘I think it is possible for people to get used to color blind casting in many cases. You can get over the fact that people of color are where they don’t belong historically because in the course of the story it doesn’t matter much…’
If the movie were to be made in a decade or so, maybe one of Thandie Newton’s kids with the right hairdo or Halle Berry’s daughter would’ve been available? Celebrity actors’ kids all seem to go into acting or modelling, so probably.
Most of the time, putting on a play is a financially dicey proposition, so I’m in favor of making it easier on the people trying to entertain you by not holding acting companies to super high standards of realism in casting. I think very few theaters these days have permanent troupes, especially not large theatres.
The problem with casting obviously look what i found black women in roles where they are supposed to be able to pass as white is that the movie makes pelo sense.
Weird old white dog breeders thought they would be the last ones affected by negro dysfunction, but it has found its way into just about all ways of life. Expect to see news stories about brawls at Amish barn raisings pretty soon.
People on social media watch a trailer for a movie about part-black women passing as white. Given the looks of the lead actresses, these folks doubt that Thompson or Negga could plausibly pass as white.
It certainly requires the actors involved to go all in and be very good so you forget about how they look.
Piss on that. We shouldn’t be slaves to what’s conventional or popular in the present moment. I love using older slang.
Rebecca seems to have a good figure but hasn’t really put it on display for the world. Unfortunately, she seems to have had English dental care, so her smile isn’t what it could be.
