This is hollywood at its racist, they can't or wont get a brown person to play an indian and cast this black guy, who hates racism when it comes to blacks but is more than happy to reap from it.
Seriously no asians to play an indian???
Seriously, how often does that happen? Not enough for you to complain about it,I can say that. It's hard all around for actors of color to get decent roles period. Also what movie and role are you even talking about?
shareOh shut and stop whining, you're black too so get over it.
shareUh, what? Who are you talking to?
shareIn his own words, the character has been changed to half Indian half black. His name is now "Vincent Kapoor", not "Venkat Kapoor". Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85fPHU6HXkI (First few minutes).
shareI 100% agree with you about Hollywood being stupid to not find an Indian man to play an INDIAN character Venkat kapoor. It's not that hard...just ask Irfan khan (life of pi, Jurassic world, namesake) or Anil kapoor (slumdog millionaire)
shareIrrfan Khan was cast in the role but had to pull out of the film a few weeks before filming. Chiwetel was a last minute casting. Perhaps not ideal, but he did a great job.
