| It's a casting call. You're not gonna cast Brad Pitt as Kunta Kinte in a Roots remake, and if you need a black guy to sing, you need a black guy to sing. Welcome to showbiz. |

| it's maybe more the phrasing that is inappropriate. they could've at least said "an African-American man" as opposed to "black guy". Black guy is pretty close to "white chick" in terms of informality. |

african-american means they don't want real black guys from Nigeria?
oh wait the TOS say race can't be mentioned in a post, so I'm cleaning my eyes out with bleach now. |

No, no. Race is okay, as long as you don't piss off the mods or Captain Corea/crossmr/samd by using a terrible word like "kimberly." Then your thread is locked up asap. Oh, and you're accused of being a KKK member, like I was in my last thread... you know, the one where at no point did I say anything even remotely racist. Mind you it was the mod who called me a KKK member - objectivity at its best, right? |
