Pretty soon movies like Star Wars will be sanitized because the actors on the movie weren't real astronauts. STAR WARS is about astronauts? 🤔 What about Hamilton, the play? Aren't there black actors playing white people? Actually, all kinds of minorities play characters. It's a purposefully stylistic choice that connects to the themes of the story.

I’d like to believe this is just because of what’s going on in the world right now with BLM, but if this continues then something is very wrong!!!

Harrison Ford playing Han Solo is one. Style or no style, I was pointing out the hypocrisy.

Harrison Ford playing Han Solo is one. No, both are flight pilots, and the latter is also a smuggler. Style or no style, I was pointing out the hypocrisy. It's not a hypocrisy; I already explained the intention. If anything, it's consistent.

The only thing more stupid than demanding that ANIMATED characters be voiced by actors of the same ethnicity is demanding that autistic characters be played by autistic actors, or that disabled characters be played by disabled actors.

Only the people and the viewers can put an end to the wokeness. But the people won't.

All that mattered was he made a great character with his voice!!! I can’t even believe anyone from Family Guy actually was bothered by this since FG claims to be un pc!!! Guess they aren’t as UN PC as they thought.

This is so stupid. People don't care what color the voice actor or actress is. By that thinking black actors shouldn't voice non black characters.

Should this thinking be extended to the notion that heterosexual characters should only be portrayed by heterosexual actors?
If this is the case, then there would be only 3 or 4 new movies every year.

I've come across several tweets by black people saying they don't want time and energy to be spent on replacing actors in animated shows when the cause is mainly about stopping police brutality. Of course that they don't represent all black people (in fact, I can't be sure that they're a majority), but it's interesting to see so many points of views.

If a character is half white and half black, how is it a problem that a white actor voiced the character ?
Also i assume that this means that a black actor can not voice a white character.
This is so stupid, the race of a voice actor does not matter, its animation not live action.

Will miss Shearer voicing him, but Kevin is a good voice actor and I’m sure he can do a good job of voicing the character. I don’t think Shearer should have had to stop though.
