    I know right? I’ve been hoping to see him play as a pregnant Asian woman. He’s just holding himself back…

    It’s just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).

    Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn’t be afraid to come out as black.

      Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?

      “What do you mean, you people?”

      Can you imagine an SL Jackson and RDJ movie where they race swap? That would be hilarious!

    They’ve got a point. Robert Downey Jr. has played many white roles over the years.

        Which is weird because how can a black guy be cast as a white guy in every single movie he’s been in except one?

        No no he’s a black actor who played a white man in everything but Tropic Thunder.

    Because he is not as versatile of an actor as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, of course.

      Why does Margot Robbie always play black guys?

      Margot Robbie, I’m beginning to think you’re not the real Margot Robbie.

    In star wars, he didn’t play a black guy, he played an alien.

      The real human homeworld is actually in the Star Wars galaxy.

      Don’t worry about it. It’s not Tattoine. We didn’t destroy that climate too.

    Well, he does play Nick Fury.

        I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.

      I think the bigger issue there is that Nick Fury fought in World War II.

    Nick Fury wasn’t always a black character.

      That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.

      Plus you’re just repeating what multiple other people have already said a day ago.

    You can’t prove his character in Inglorious Basterds isn’t white

    Because when he tried to play a white guy he got sued by Dave Chappelle.
