Then why bother getting her in the first place? Just hire an actual white girl.

Whoa! Hire a white girl when there's a black girl who looks white who could do the role equally well??? Outrage!!!!!

"equally well" is debatable, and based on past black-washing efforts, it's unlikely. If people defending this are gonna complain that a Hawaiian actress isn't Hawaiian enough for Lilo and Stitch, it's only fair to ask that a white girl play a white girl.

I wasn't serious.
