This is getting ridiculous. Casting agents working for woke studios or creatives are going to have to hold up color swatches to actors’ faces to insure a prospective cast is properly color balanced. There will probably be scandals of make-up being applied to darken actors’ complexions.

Ahahaha....
I can't wait.
Let the Left eat itself.
Soon, even that won't be enough. They will complain if the minorities are too thin, or too muscled, because "minority body diversity" will become a thing in addition to the ridiculousness of "colorism".
I'm really looking forward to attractive minorities complaining they can't get work because ugly minorities are taking up all their roles. share
As someone who yes is bored with the let's count to make sure we have every ethnic group defined in non stereotypical roles to make this movie, I will say...
Actually it is warranted in this film about Washington Heights neighborhood in NYC.
The fact that there was maybe (I think someone said one) dark skin Hispanic in the movie is ridiculous.
If you ever lived there or were raised there you really watched this film like where's my crew.
