  1. Just looking for an opinion...They're re-making Annie for the big screen.. But the entire cast is...African American. I am not racist by any measure but the very idea of this is rather offensive. Liberties being taken are all well and good but let us be honest. Annie is a frigging ginger and Daddy Warbucks is a greasy looking old white guy. Jamie Foxx as Daddy Warbucks? I am really struggling with this

      You don't cast white people in Roots for the same reason you don't cast black people to play Nazis. Annie is an orphan, the color of her skin has little to do with the story.

      Mustapha I had HUGE issues with Depp as Tonto for that very reason. Now imagine if they made Tonto a Mexican guy instead of a native...this is where I am at. you cannot change basic characters. Take the cast fo gone with the wind. Now make them say...Punjabi. You just cannot do it. Why can we now not have a white Shaft? How about a Jewish one? Imagine the frigging outcry over "creative license" for changing a character who is written as a specific look gender and ethnicity
