DEAD @ them using "urban" instead of just being flat out and saying she's too black.

Nolan is disgusting.



Clock iT.

she slayed in Mad Max tho!

As well as in her lead role and the critically acclaimed ~indie flick DOPE. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dope_2015/

Urban doesn't equal black but okay

The idiocy.

mess

but why did she want a cameo as a criminal anyway

That's the thing, they do.

Outside of those shows and a few others, there are very few places of black actors in television. The same goes for the film industry.

I doubt that Nolan himself casts minor characters in each of his movies but ok.

It's awful that she couldn't even get an audition... I mean They even didn't care to pretend they are not racist.

Its people like you...

Urban's been the go-to code word the studios have used I feel like people are finally catching onto outside those affected.

I'd know it's easy to say the producers instantly meant "black", but I wish she had a chance to ask what they meant.

I'd be fascinating to watch them explain themselves, or try to. Idk...imo.

It has become synonymous with black, just how ghetto and "the hood" are

Well **** them then. I'm not seeing the movie in theaters anyway. They're not getting my coins for several reasons.

edit: Wait...is this about the Nolan films?
