what is NOT cool is excluding anyone from any role or job based solely on their race or gender or any other class-based identifier.



The next time we have a film about Malcolm X or MLK it would be good to have a blond hair guy play them. Or about we do a biopic on Brain Wilson and have Chadwick Boseman or Denzel Washington play him.



At what point is it ridculous and total whitewashing.




What I said was it is wrong to exclude someone for any job solely on the basis of their race (or any other group)





No it is not if the actor does not meet the requirement for the part. In the work place you cannot make it a requirement for a certain gender to have a job but I can have requirements that have to met in order to do the job. Race would be a requirement for this part. Prince was a black man and this is racist. Make all the silly excuses you like to justify it.

Well we know that this channel is about the highest quality possible, so if that chose a white actor to portray Prince it must be that he had such brilliance that transcended all the possible biracial or black actors. There could be no other possible reason for such a classy production.
