Have they tried looking under the nearest badge?

Stop lying. What do you get out of lying? You got to tell the whole story:

It’s very clear to me that your alleged law school education is not helping you understand this matter, and may somehow be obfuscating it beyond comprehension for you, because you are totally off the rails, dude.

If you want to force Kristen Bell to continue voicing this character, you’re not achieving that end by…

Go ahead and wave your magical wand and skip to that part, then.

“We’re going to be talking about whether an animated character that’s biracial gets voiced potentially by a biracial actor but the character is darker or lighter than the actor.”

Right, and when anyone talks about casting a Black James Bond or a Black Doctor Who or a Black Little Mermaid white people lose their fucking minds. Why are y’all acting like it’s so easy to do that and not equally fraught with pitfalls? It will be great to case a Black person as James Bond. It will be equally great…

You keep saying it’s “going to get ugly” and I don’t understand what you’re talking about.  It’s already fucking ugly how things work for minority actors in Hollywood.

Your whole post is based on imagination.  

It’s always funny when people think they’ve got a big gotcha but have somehow stumbled onto the correct conclusion, which is not that every character can only be written by someone of their exact background, but that it would be phenomenal if more POC characters were written by POC, if more women were written by…

So I’m feeling a bit foolish about this whole thing. When this came up as a story a few weeks back I was defending the casting of Bell, and now I’m wondering why I did that. I’m white, I should have realised it wasn’t my place. And yeah, it wasn’t a good choice to cast Bell and on my good days I’m smart enough to see…

That you’re dismissive of the “actress not being black enough” issue suggest to me that you’re unfamiliar with colourism, a subject of academic and social debate within communities of colour. I’m not going to get into it because I’m white and not qualified to talk about it (and I’ll probably get things wrong), but…

“The people whose mind you want to change” are literally changing their minds, haha.

No one is fighting though.

The issue is that we’re not at the point where a minority VA would even be considered for Hank Hill.

huh, I’ve never seen a salad so big yet so devoid of any substance

If a choice has to be made, how about choose from those who have too often been excluded instead of those who receive all manners of privilege? Or, if you just want to be pragmatic, the optics of making this decision are good and the optics of ignoring the situation are bad. And if you zoom out to society at large,…

There’s plenty of every biracial mixture one can think in the entertainment industry, and part black/part Jewish is a fairly common background. What’s rare , until recently, is for casting directors to concern themselves with the ethnicity of actors they cast for roles. Actors, in fact, often hid the complexity of…

It pretty much has nothing to do with the “sound” of the character, and everything to do with representation on (or I suppose in animation, “in”?) screen. I’m mixed, sound white (but look mixed) and I get so excited when I see other mixed actors/actresses on screen. I don’t get excited when I see another white person…

incredible how many people miss the point. really, just astounding 

It says she's exiting the character, not the show, where she also writes and plays other characters.
