Black actress picked to play a white queen

[TheButcher]

Now this is absolutely ridiculous, you pick actors to look the part, not to please race relations. I am all for diversity in movies but get real.
A black actress to play the part of a white queen, lol.

Jodie Turner-Smith




"CHANNEL 5 has sparked a race row after casting black actress Jodie Turner-Smith as Tudor queen Anne Boleyn in a new period drama.

The Queen & Slim star will play the second wife of King Henry VIII in the three-part psychological drama, Variety revealed.

Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous wives of the Tudor King, having caused Henry to controversially divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, before being executed for treason.

The drama will be from Anne's perspective during the final months of her life as she struggles to survive as well as protecting the well-being of her daughter - the future Queen Elizabeth I.

However, the news has sparked a race row about a black actress playing a prominent white historical figure.

One Twitter user wrote: "Anne Boleyn was white. A white person would not be picked to play a well known historical black person, it would be classed as white washing. The same applies the other way around in my opinion.""

By the way form the same article


"Another tweeted: "Anne Boleyn - 2nd wife of Henry V111 - both were white. If a white woman was cast to play Rosa Parks there would quite rightly be outrage. Similarly with this casting - it’s not acceptable.""

I would say the same thing as he did, if they had a white woman play the part of Rosa parks.

I know who Jodie Turner-Smith she is a good actress and played great roles but having her play Anne Boleyn is a joke.

That is not the same woman is it?

So a white actor playing MLK would be the right way to cast the role?
