Comment on “This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.”

  Ok where is all this black washing of Asian, arab, latino, etc figures? If anything they get white washed as much as black figures do or are reduced to stereotypes with zero depth.

  Only thing that comes to mind is Jada Pinkett’s shitty Netflix series that no one watched

    Sounds like you’re being emotional and treating racism like a competition. Can’t really have a reasonable conversation with you if that’s the case

      Or you could just give me examples of famous figures of the ethnicities you mentioned being represented as black. I’ve yet to see Miyamoto Musashi, Santa Ana, Buddha, Alexander the Great, or Saladin played by Morgan Freeman or Idris Elba

  Right, Samuel L. Jackson as Simón Bolívar was really a bad pick.
