Im black myself, so im no racist, but I think that's kind of a insult to African-Americans to cast a Black actress as a character named "Peaches". A ghetto name that's very common for a black women.

Well I guess the question should be asked, assuming you know the women, are the women named "Peaches" ghetto?

So far yes.
I just graduated from high school with 2 girls named Peaches (legal names not nicknames)
Went to grammar school with 1
A woman who regularly visit my Mom's Bar is named Peaches and she starts trouble
There's a little girl on my block named Peaches. Very bad, mischievious kid. Foul-mouthed and smart aleck. A real brat, but that's just her nickname, her real name is Kierra.
And I'm Facebook friends with 2 more girls by that name but I dont talk to them, but I assume that's their nicknames.
So yep, that's a total of 7

Now I slightly believe Peaches should be avoided, though it's more so a stereotype than a fact to go by really.
Still, maybe the film can reclaim the name Peaches for something positive? Keke hasn't done a lot of roles when she played a straight up ghetto go. I mean, even in the Madea movie she was in, by the end she was prim and proper.

There's nothing ghetto about the name "Peaches" and just because you knew two ghetto girls with that name dosen't make it so. Also, why the hell do black women always get the title "ghetto" smacked on them for any damn thing they do,anyway? That's tiring, especially if the sister in question isn't even from the ghetto to begin with it. Seriously, that "ghetto" stereotype is so tiring sometimes, because ALL black women don't act like that---real lound, in your face, always cussing,all that nonsense. Honestly, find a new word to describe black women besides "ghetto" as if that's all the hell we can ever be.
Um dude, didnt you read what she said? SHE is black. SHE is calling black women ghetto.
stop blaming other people for what some black people themselves do to each other. that is perpetuating a nasty stereotype.
You're hideous and sexy!
When i hear Peaches i think of a skinny white girl singing dirty techno music,could also be a stripper or pornstar name.
