In the case of these shows. The kids look like everyday average black people.

It's no like the chose super ambiguous mixed looking people for the rolls.
They older two look light skin/mixed and not brown which isnt the norm.

Norm is usually brown.

What about Tisha looks mixed? Is it because she's light skin? I'm pretty sure you know black people come in different shades. Those girls look mixed from the hair texture to the facial features, hence why people automatically assume they are mixed. I've never heard of anyone thinking Tisha was mixed smh.
And yes they should try to hire more black kids wtf? They do so when they turn down biracials and blacks kids for shows with white families. Which white shows have biracials playing the part of white kids because I don't know of any.

There's plenty of shows with "white" people that have Hispanic ancestry. Or shows with parents that are Italian, and the kids Jewish or something like that. And you never see white people getting mad at that.

Like I said yall looking for problems and will find them.

Black people come with different textures of hair and facial features too.

You can't run with your own definition of what "black" is then want everybody to agree with you.

Man this thread veered left. And what's this definition of black? Theres varying degrees of blackness? How is it we are the only people who don't know who they are? Everyone knows what is and who is white, Asian, but we don't know who's black? Wow.

This is crazy. I have a headache, I'm done with this discussion.

whites are on a negative birth rate, specifically in europe. more of them are dying than being born...i wonder if one reason they're promoting IR is a way to preserve themselves. clearly whites alone cannot function/reproduce the way humans were intended...

This.

They need our melanin to stave off extinction.

"White" has changed overtime.

Black or white has no bases in science or biology. It's always been opinion

Asian is not a race.

Right and nobody would bat an eye at Cameron Diaz playing a "white" person on TV

You sound dumb. Italians and the vast majority of jews are white. Hispanic isn't a race either. You can be hispanic and still be white.
