Kurt Vonnegut? Really?

Here we go again. A Guatemalan/Cuban actor is playing a German novelist? It’s Blonde all over again where a Cuban actress played an actress of Scottish descent.

Yet if a German actor played an existing Guatemalan or Cuban personality, SJW social media would shit a rake. And when James Franco announced he was cast to play Fidel Castro awhile back, that’s exactly what happened.

Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis Indiana. His ancestry is from Germany, but he's hardly German.

As for Oscar Issac playing him: who cares? Most people never enjoyed Vonnegut's work which sucks because it's fun. 2 dimensional characters, aliens, so it goes, I'd have to laugh like he'll, and adventures along the tunnel of light to interview the dead by using Kavorkian's suicide machine. He gave us Harrison Bergeron which is relevant through the decades.

Shit man, people gotta pick up Breakfast of Champions.
