Why is it that black actors can play white characters and that is regaded as great - but no white actor can play black characters because that would be cultural appropriation, or worse, racial marginalisation of the 'black experience'.

Who are the great black characters of film, drama, literature?

Brad Pitt as Malcolm X.

Dustin Hoffman as Celie Harris in The Color Purple

Daniel Craig in To Sir, With Love, set in a Harlem school.

Margot Robbie as Jedda and Chris Hemsworth in the Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith.

Of course we shouldn't forget Sir Lawrence Oliverier in Blackface as Othello, now should we, Soren?

Or should we forget the many actors who appeared in Yellowface in Hollywood?

It seems no one likes Black or Yellow actors, Soren... Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

And your point is - what exactly?
Are you able to articulate, beyond tsk tsk and eye rolling?

I wonder, what are Frank's objections to historical portrayals of Othello?

We KNOW you are stupid, Mother Miffy, no need to emphasise it. The play's full title is Othello, the Moor of Venice.

Would you cast Brad Pitt as Othello? Or Laurence Olivier, in blackface?

https://www.arogundade.com/images/laurence-olivier-performance-blackface-othello...

Poor Frank. Cast adrift by the word "historical".

Amusing particularly to the onlooker because this is the base he is defending.

How it twists.

Here's what you need to accept, Frank, ol' son. Just like the tinted folk are free to hang a Van Gogh, they're free to embody the Bard.

I assure you, most people aren't paying as much attention to melanin content as you.

As long as they they then don't pull 'black pride' shite, yes.

As long as they are UNIVERSALISTS and do not emphasise race themselves. It can be done and the best of them DO do it.
But the race hustling buggers who will NEVER let you forget their black 'pride' will always go on and on and ON about theit special black sepratism and black privilege.

Black pride. As odious and despicable as white pride. But you idiots celebrate the former and snarl and bark at the latter.

You buggers are stupid hypochrites, you know it, and you accentuate it.

They should have put on white face. White actors made an effort at verisimilitude.

I have no issue with black actors being cast as Othello. But not as McBeth or Snow White. It's just silly and totally undermines the production and the credibility of the actors involved. It's as silly as it would be to cast white actors as Aborigines. Totally unbelievable.

Well considering the whole Lefty (anti-Trump) culture over the last decade has all but up and left the Sydney Theatre Company of all things Woke these last 4 years or so.
So much so, that when they go to see a 'Classic', they want to see it as it is 'a classic', not some mutilated WOKE and politically correct (to the Media narrative) corruption of 'fake' Classic.
Thus, the Sydney Theatre Company has had to sack 30 Staff across the board! Where are all these 'woke' people who cry on Social Media and TV that things like the STC must change its ways? None of them are turning up to their own 'culture'. The STC seats are 90% empty since Trump was removed.
Go figure!

...so much for what the 'audience' wants BriYawn. Grin

I AM of the audience....

Even you wouldn't believe it if Nicole Kidman or Margot Robbie was cast as tribal Aborigines in a movie. Or Bill Nighy as a Zulu Chief or John Goodman as samurai.

Until the 1970s, white people did exactly that, Soren. They donned Blackface and acted as Indigenous Australians on stage and screen. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

So? Was it believable for you, cockwomble?

They thought it was. What do you reckon, Soren, hey? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

What did YOU think, worm? That was the question. Don't switch to 'they'. You ARE they, dishonest squishy slithering bozo.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
