There are thousands of amazing black actress waiting for their big break. It is not double standarts at all, there are very little black characters on comics, so it is a good thing to give the white ones to black actors. Not the other way around. Besides, it is also a afirmative gesture, after all, any race that have been through a VERY RECENT slavery, freaking deserves it.
Here in Brazil is the same old crap, we had 300 years of slavering of the black people, and now, the stuppid white people bitch and complaing about any afirmative action, like special standarts to enter at public universities and such.
Equality is to treat the equals as equals, but, when you slave a group for 300 years, you better give them compensation for at least 600 years.
I say that, and I am as white as it gets...

LOL this is a potential hollywood block buster. No one in their right mind is going to give someone a chance at a big break.
Recent slavery? 1865 isn't exactly that recent and more importantly irrelevan to this topic. Hell women were technically slaves for thousands of years till they could vote and had equal rights. How about we compensate them for the next 4000 years. Look at some governement organisations now, they have stpid poicies in place that 50% of the workforce in their organisation needs to be women, WTH happen to BEST PERSON for the JOB? same with acting they should go for the best person for the job.

160 years is VERY recent, it is two old people lifetimes, also, the stigma it brings to a race can endure for many many centuries, here in Brazil the prejudice is still REALLY STRONG, and we abolished slavery at 1888.
It is not like slavery ended and everything suddenlly became amazing to black people, they suffered a lot after the freedom, with the prejudice and lack of oportunity.
Well, it is my opinion and I respect yours too.
