Film: Black "Annie" Diversity Casting?
A famous classic musical film was remade using a protagonist with a Black skin. Traditionally the protagonist was played by a white girl.
Is this part of Hollywood's "Diversity Casting" campaign?
Sounds good. Good musical play. Actors sing very well. I was not bothered by the Black Annie. What I was still bothered was a rich man who adopts Annie was a Black man.
Maybe a white man adopts a Black girl is not politically correct?
But how many of white audience enjoy this film? Wasn't it for Black audience?
In the last scene of the film, a Black man kisses a white woman. Is this widely acceptable in U.S.?
Wasn't this too much of liberal twist?
I am not being racist but I am realist and view the world from realist perspective.
Look who was the President of the United States last year.
I just don't think this casting really fits the current social trend of that country.
