How come I dont remember an uproar when Flex Alexander had to whiten his face to play Michael Jackson?? When does it become about "acting" and not about who's playing the part??

I like zoo but damn..
Regardless of wether Zoe is afro-latina or black.
The problem is bad casting....
The girl from walking dead would of been much better.......
Colorism politics is real....the sad thing about this is that their were PLENTY of better options.
Would you cast Zoe to play selena? I bet the Latino community would of raged had this been that senario.

Will Smith aint look nothing like the Nigerian doc in Concussion though...
Although I wonder who would look like her more.... is there a lineup of actresses that was available?

Yet you so called militants love Iron Man. I never hear anyone bring up how Iron Man literally put on Blackface in a movie to the point that he should be held accountable for it now and forever. Nope..when that new Iron Man movie comes out u all bow down.
ZOE SALDANA: “I AM A BLACK WOMAN”

As I was searching for inspirational style pictures on one of my favorite style sites ”Black and Killing it”http://blackandkillingit.com created by Neil Alvin. I came across a small debate that seemed to stir when Neil posted a comment from a reader about a quote that the beautiful, talented and well known actress of Star Trek, Avatar and most recently Colombiana, Zoe Saldana stated. The comment reads as follows:
“When I go to the D.R., the press in Santo Domingo always asks, “¿Qué te consideras, dominicana o americana?” (What do you consider yourself, Dominican or American?) I don’t understand it, and it’s the same people asking the same question. So I say, time and time again, “Yo soy una mujer negra.” (“I am a black woman.”) [They go,] “Oh, no, tú eres trigueñita.” (“Oh no, you are ‘dark skinned’”) I’m like, “No! Let’s get it straight, yo soy una mujer negra.” (“I am a black woman).”
Most of Neil’s readers felt there was no need for a debate and that it was this woman’s prerogative while a few others were a bit peeved that Zoe identified herself as a black woman and thought she should identify herself as mix. Why do you think Zoe’s comments irked some nerves?
