DANIEL KALUUYA SAYS HE IS BORED OF TALKING ABOUT RACE: ‘I’M NOT DEFINED BY IT’

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

See, I was that kid and I did not have knowledge of self. Bombarded with crazy ass questions that a ten year wouldn't even know where to begin.

So it was a struggle because I was unprepared and it just left me frustrated. Only thing that changes as you get older is your knowledge.

Even with the knowledge, you realize you end up having to explain your own existence. Guess a lot of folks here don't work with too many white folk on the reg. I get tired of it.

However, he keeps choosing roles that have to do with Race and the African American experience so I can see why folks would be angry coming from that angle.

It's one of those statements that he should have prepared in advance. Off the cuff, he comes off unaware and willfully ignorant.

He has done two roles as a black American in a filmography of over 20 movies

I also said with Race as well, with that in mind, how many is that now? His recent roles have plenty to do with Race or racial undertones.

I'm not vilifying dude, but he has to understand that its a thin line as a Black actor in Hollyweird.
