Controversy as black actress plays white cat
The trailer for the live-action version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical smash dropped on Thursday night, and now many fans who have viewed it say Francesca’s fur not matching her skin tone is an example of ‘racism’.
‘Whitewashing’ is a term that refers to Hollywood’s long history of sidelining black actors and preferring to cast mostly white leads in films. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...-whitewashing/ Should whiting up be allowed even if it’s a cat? |
I don't see the issue tbh.
There are white actors playing darker furred cats. THEY'RE PLAYING CATS FFS!!! |
Neem has a very white cat
:suspect: |
is there really controversy or has the sun found a few tweets with like 4 retweets and is using them to rile people up?
|
i’m not gonna give them the clicks so if someone could let me know

Strewth, is this what the world of today has to offer.:fist:
Stupidity for the sake of it. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so barmy. |
I wonder if George Galloway auditioned for the part?

The only time that I've seen racism for this kinda thing was the Last Airbender Film as it's clearly based around Asian culture so having a white Aang just doesn't feel right. But going back to the topic, who seriously cares who is playing which Cat? |
Isn't a black woman, Lashana Lynch. gonna be the new James Bond, or the new 007 or something? I heard that somewhere recently.
I thought James Bond was 007? |
