Casting agents have even said "I don't care what someone looks like when casting a VOICE for a show." Why does skin color matter in a cartoon? Bob's Burgers has men playing females and no one cares.
Also, wouldn't you feel bad if you were quite literally the token black person who was only given the role because the producers had to?
The hypocrisy is maddening.
I also just wanted to add that the reason I created this thread is because the new voice actor is trying to imitate the previous. What is the point of that? Ridiculous
shareI don't think a black actor needs to voice Dr. Hibbert or other black characters. White actors should be able to voice black characters and black actors should be able to voice white characters.
shareRight? I would totally be fine if there was a show where black actors voiced all of the white characters. Who gives a crap? Most voice actors don't look anything like their animated counterparts. The Simpsons producers are delusional
shareSamurai Jack was voiced by a black actor so we have an Asian character being voiced by a non-Asian person. To think there are legions of people out there who are triggered by that fact.
Phil LaMarr is such a brilliant voice actor I would see as an honor.
Yet, the same folks who insist a black actor needs to voice Dr. Hibbert insist a black man must play Bond. Irony or hypocrisy?
shareBecause liberals have gone completely and irrevocably insane.
shareRemember when the radical thought was that 'race doesn't matter, because we're all human beings'?
Now race matters more than anything, and suddenly we're all just 'race' instead of full human beings. Apparently that's the 'new equality' - segregation.
Listening to Martin Luther King would really blow the minds of the SJW crowd these days.
King's words are falling on a greater percentage of deaf ears now than ever before.
shareBecause the world's gone cuckoo-bananas.
