I don’t see how voice actors skin color, sexuality, religious beliefs, etc.... needs to coincide with their animated role. It’s acting...and most people couldn’t pick even the most popular voice actors out of a crowd.

This would count as privilege if they consciously ignored black actresses to give Jenny the role. If that wasn't the case... I mean, it's animation. Seeing a black character on screen is still a form of diversity. Samurai Jack was voiced by a black man and no one complained as far as I remember. "This would count as privilege if they consciously ignored black actresses to give Jenny the role." I think you are confusing "privilege" with intentional, deliberate discrimination. Privilege is not having to think about discrimination because you are a part of the group that is in power. So, for example, if you are right-handed, you can pretty much go through life without having to think about what life must be like for people who are left-handed. Having privilege doesn't make you an active agent of discrimination against a disadvantaged group, but it helps contribute to what may be discriminatory structures in society (eg institutional racism).

Do they re-voice Darth Vader?
With all white voice actors:

Do they re-voice Darth Vader? Of course not, remember its only wrong when white people voice people of colour, saying a black person can not voice a white character is racist. I don`t care what skin colour the voice actor has. There is no need for the voice actor to have the same skin colour as the character or gender. I mean Bart Simpson is voiced by a woman.

I agree. I don't care who voices what. That's why they call it "acting." It comes down to skill, and the ability to make it believable.
This is beyond crazy.

Will they do the reverse as well? Does this mean that Samuel L. Jackson won’t voice the white Gin Rummy when they reboot “The Boondocks”? What about Cree Summers as Penny on “Inspector Gadget “?

Its getting more and more moronic. Its animation who cares what skin colour the voice actor has ? I agree, i don't care what race the person is that does the voice acting either.

That is far worse, Anne Boleyn is an historical white woman, having a black actress play her is like having a white actress play Ranavalona III (who was the last Queen of Madagascar). Real historical people should always be portrayed by the race and gender that they are. Historical white people must only be played by white actors Historical black people must only be played by black actors And so on.

When it happens the other way it's called 'white washing' Well, as I said a couple of posts ago, we're dealing with the topic of systemic racism... so no, of course it's not going to be the same for both races. Anyway, it shows you that you can't please everybody and that you just have to accept it and do what's right.

It’s wrong on both sides. It it’s a fictional character sure. Why not? But when you start going into people who actually existed that’s when YOU SHOULD BE CALLED OUT!!! Could you imagine if a black actor played Hitler? HOOOOO BOY!!!! Yeah we’ll just accept it and do what’s right. ARE YOU MENTAL VITS? I’m beginning to think you are. Also again no one was bothered by this in the early 2000’s. SO I ASK WHAT HAPPENED?

And society's values in the early 2000s were different compared to decades before... and centuries before, and so on. Human evolution isn't just biological, my friend.

Twitter happened and it made things go backwards. Sorry I don’t listen to a blue checkmark on Twitter like you do. I actually have a life. The sooner people stop taking Twitter and SJW’s seriously the better. We’re not moving forward. We’re moving back. Let me ask what do you think of the Chicago Mayor saying she’ll only talk to black reporters? If you say you have no issue with it, I’m gonna block you. WHAT SHE IS DOING IS RACIST!!!

If I disagree with you, you'll block me, making the whole exchange pointless. If I agree with you, then I would ruin my image. Even if I wanted to, I'd have to look that mayor up first. By the way, don't underestimate rocks. They help us manufacture new products. Oh, sorry. Is "manufacture" too much of a fancy word for you?
