I thought he was good in Django, but the performance didn't touch what he did in Inglorious b*stards. On the other hand I wasn't a fan of Foxx's performance and wish Idris Elba had won the role...
I think Jaime Foxx did okay in the movie (not Oscar worthy).. Couple scenes/ lines here and there I wish he did differently but overall I was satisfied..
Optically I don't think having a British Actor play and American slave wouldn't have went over well with QT's black fan base..
White people wouldn't have cared ,but I think QT is very conscious of our presence
Now that I think about it, I think that because Django was an American story having a German in the lead role threw it off a bit, but Quentin was just too hell bent on riding dudes wave from Inglorious b*stards.
If Nicholas Cage or Kevin Costner had that same role
