Colorism is stupid. Let the man play the part!

Pretty sad when the "tolerant" and "inclusive" are complaining about the wrong shade of black.

This crud has been going on for years, and it is legitimate to some extent. I didn't think I'd see it in Hollywood. I don't know how I didn't see it coming, but still.

Are they going to bring back the brown paper bag test? SMH

Yeah, really. If you're too light to play a black person you have to put on blackerface.

I thought the guy he played was black?

Will Smith was cast to play the Williams' Sisters (Wimbledon players / champions) father in an upcoming biopic, but people complained because he's "too light-skinned" for the role. Meanwhile, the guy that Will Smith played in "The Pursuit of Happyness" is also darker than Smith himself.

That's stupid, and racist. Skin color is more important than acting ability? So much for progressives...

Yup. It's not the content of your character, it's the color of your skin! Waitaminute...
