nobody was advocating for hollywood to hire green skinned people or white skinned people, but simply people who have red hair to represent people who have red hair
you and @Tja@programming.dev seem to have rushed to be morally superior and smug so fast you didn’t notice that this was not to do with skin colour but hair colour, hence the blog title “THE TRUTH ABOUT REDHEADED CHARACTERS BEING RECAST WITH BLACK ACTORS”
Here is a paragraph from the post:
The problematic side is, what about the redheads or gingers of the younger generation? Unfortunately for them, their representation is slowly being whittled down to almost nothing, as the characters are not only taken from fair-skinned and ginger to Black but also to tanned skin with blonde hair, brunette hair, and essentially what Hollywood finds beautiful at the time.
So sorry to beat you over the head with your own inclusivity stick but representation matters to me 🙄
This is erasure of those of us who are chronically nauseated cartoon characters!
