Jenna Ortega playing white again?


Second time. Wow!

I thought playing an ethnic group you don't belong to was against modern film making standards.

I'm going down to my nearest junior college and setting up a tent camp protest.

Who cares? She is a good actor.

Good attitude. So you don't mind when a Caucasian plays another ethnicity like Latino, Native America, etc. or when a straight guy plays a gay guy?

It doesn't bother me, as long as it is a good performance.

ACTING is almost illegal now, cancelable by social justice law :D

So? Your fellow "Mick" Catherine Zeta Jones keeps playing Mexican women and nobody complains except you.

Lighten Up, McFrancis.

Welsh are interchangeable with other Celts, Mickey

Where are these White People you speak of? Barely anyone is true white.

Only applies to whites.

The trend these days isnโ€™t equality, itโ€™s retaliation against any white male because of the way the Hollywood system was run the past 100+ years.

It's only offensive if a white person plays outside their ethnic group. No one made a big deal when Jodie Turner Smith played a real historical white figure in Anne Boleyn. But if i made a movie and cast Maya Angelou as a white woman there would be a protest on my front lawn.
