We’re leaving out that these movies are not being made for the grown ass people doing most of the complaining about her race. The movie is aimed at children, and children don’t care what color she is. Even if they don’t see themselves in her, they will see her as just another young girl, as someone they would like to meet, and/or be friends with, which is how I saw little white girls in movies and on tv.

Honestly, we see this every single time a Black Woman gets a job in a movie, and half of white people have a collective meltdown, and the other half just go “Yay! A new movie!” It’s not funny, but it’s still pretty hilarious to watch this, as it’s happened about 5 or 6 times in the past ten years, and these people have not changed! Their arguments are always exactly the same!

So yeah, their outrage about this will last until another black woman gets a role as a redhead in a movie or tv show, and then we will start this dance all over again. 😂😂😂
