I'm surprised Lupita even thought of doing this role since she is a WOC and knows how hard it is but she still auditioned.

Hollywood will never care about this issue as long as they are making money

OHHHH.

That's understandable then.

Nah, she definitely could, people are so stupid, I can see a lot of people blaming her.

Just few years ago, people were sorta going in on JLaw for playing the part of a famished, olive skinned girl when it's not her fault she was cast for the role...

It would be problematic if Nyong'o got the role, but not AS problematic. Rooney is not a POC. So you're right, but I don't see how that's relevant to anything.

This story broke when the casting was announced, so not sure why it's news again. Either way, I guess it was hard for them to find an actress who looked like a native of Neverland.

So you're basically saying that because Hollywood doesn't care, people shouldn't care either? We should all just be silent as white people take over all roles. We should talk about how Lupita auditioned instead even if she didn't get the role. And let's be honest, like they would have given it to her even if she outperformed the white girl because you know, she's white.

could have even been Selena Gomez

I don't care who they choose, but at least stay true to the character. They didn't even bother make her look Indian, it's like they're not even trying. Pathetic.

Often white actors can do fine jobs playing other races. For example, Ben Kingsley as Ghandi:




Or Warner Oland as Charlie Chan:




Or Iron Eyes Cody as Iron Eyes Cody:











But this? This is just lazy

Any perspective would be problematic.

It's sad that Hollywood does things like this. It's time they learn. I'm boycotting this movie.

No

But be prepared for your complaints to not have any effects on Hollywood

no, she doesn't, her family is rich as ****

Well she is an adult who doesn't want her family to pay bills for her
