why does hollywood cast BIRACIAL people as BLACK people?

[SAINT]

Are bi-racial people not black?

 

[OVER]

Although they're mixed they're presumed black by their appearance and black actors rarely get cast on some colorblind shyt, so they play black characters, if you mean why do those roles go to them instead black actors ....

Tatyana is half Indo-Trinidadian.

Yeah trinidadian

 

[King Jae]

...nagas still complaining bout Hollywood and their bullshyt...water is wet...the sky is blue...plz find something better to do...

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Biracials arent black

 

[Paper Boi]

because white people don't see a difference when they bout to use the n word.

 

[chowism]

Maybe becuz biracial folk’s always been classified as black here in America

It's really this simple. This was a dumb thread.

Always wondered this about The Fresh Prince. Ashley was clearly Indian or something. Her eyes hardly opened when the show began

Her mother is from Panama and her father is an East Indian Muslim from Trinidad

Their half black. That's why their called BI-Racial

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

Her mother is from Panama and her father is an East Indian Muslim from Trinidad

That was my point... Nothing in her composition points to her being a byproduct of the original Vivian & Uncle Phil

I don't think people really cared enough.

Well I know I didn't. Fresh Prince is still in my Top 5 favorite shows

I take it by your name that you're not African American. They are many African Americans that are different shades

breh, two dark people are not having a child that is damn near white unless the kid itself is albino. im free for you to prove me wrong?

Lol. This.

Biracial and proud

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

Cuz if you are half black, youre still black. Duh

they blatantly look out of place in a black family with two DARK black parents

if you was dark, and your girl was dark, and your kid was damn near white you would be wanting a dna test

Well would not just black as in black African but African Americans that is an ethnicity.
