Fake outrage from people who probably won’t even see the movie regardless.

He's an Asian director from California. I'm not surprised. He's just reflecting his reality on screen; The bay area basically steals black culture but takes away "black people" if that makes sense. Reminds me of the Japanese are now known for making jazz music despite ADOS creating jazz music. Same goes for funk and RnB today with Kpop.

I MAKE THE FACE

You'd be surprised. A lot of teenagers nowadays listen to jazz music and say that the japanese make the best music. Whenever you remind them that ADOS created jazz they get mad and say its a lie. Same goes for these weirdos who listen to "lofi hip hop". Lofi hiphop is just smooth jazz from the George Benson area, but these white/Asian kids think that they created something original

fukk this gay movie

 

[Remote]

Ugh.

Didn’t even watch the video. As soon as I heard her voice I could hear the feminist/Twitter SJW in her.

“as a black woman of Cuban descent…”

That’s as far as I got.


I’m not watching this movie anyway but if you got a problem with the casting, just ignore it. How hard is that?

Isn't there a lot of "me not black papi" in the Washington Heights anyway?

They were probably happy with the lack of melanin in the movie.

This was a decent movie, but when I saw that the majority of the actors were light skin, I knew. Whenever there's a work featuring PoCs, if everyone is light skin, it will be addressed and honestly, I think it should. Dark complexed people can lead films too.
