“ In 2010, someone suggested that Community treasure [and black person] Donald Glover should be cast as Peter Parker in the forthcoming Spider-Man reboot (the role eventually went to Andrew Garfield). White people went FUCKING BERSERK. Glover received death threats. Just for the idea of him being allowed to audition for a movie version of Spider-Man (a movie that, by the way, already exists with a white actor in the lead role). ”— I See White People: Hunger Games and a Brief History of Cultural Whitewashing

really heavy with sociology terminology in the middle (was kind of waiting for somebody in the audience to call "bingo!"), but gets rather a bit brilliant in the last third.

“ In the books, Katniss is described as being olive-skinned, dark-haired, possibly biracial. Did you discuss with Suzanne the implications of casting a blond, caucasian girl?— 'Hunger Games' director Gary Ross talks casting Jennifer Lawrence -- EXCLUSIVE | Inside Movies | EW.com
Suzanne and I talked about that as well. There are certain things that are very clear in the book. Rue is African-American. Thresh is African-American. Suzanne had no issues with Jen playing the role. And she thought there was a tremendous amount of flexibility. It wasn’t doctrine to her. Jen will have dark hair in the role, but that’s something movies can easily achieve. [Laughs] I promise all the avid fans of The Hunger Games that we can easily deal with Jennifer’s hair color. ”

“ From the looks of the first trailers, the only characters of color are baddies.— Racebending - The Last Airbender - M. Night Shyamalan Speaks - UGO.com
“It’s called irony,” Night said of the controversy in a follow-up phone call exclusive to UGO. ”

I swear, the day that film is released, I'll buy the whole series on DVD (blah blah if money blah) and stay home and just re-watch *that* again.

The upcoming live action feature 'The Last Airbender' produced by
Paramount cast all three leads white, and filled background roles and
non-speaking extras with Asian, Hispanic and Middle Eastern
nationalities. Although the 'Yellow Face' casting outraged many fans,
others remain at peace with it. The filmmaker raises these questions:
Is Whitewashing Racist? Why does 'Yellow Face' still exist in 2009? And
this idea of what's 'Asian' in America today, is it racist? And what is
the societal impact on future generations?

YouTube - A Girl Like Me
The video begins with interviews with Kiri and her peers about how 'black' features did not conform to society's standards of beauty. The next section was a repeat of an experiment conducted by Kenneth Clark in the 1940s where African-American children were asked to choose between black or white dolls. In the original experiment(s) the majority of the children choose the white dolls. When Davis repeated the experiment 15 out of 21 children also choose the white dolls over the black, giving similar reasons as the original subjects, associating white with being "pretty" or "good" and black with "ugly" or "bad". The dolls used in the documentary were identical except for skin colour.
