Jenny Slate is leaving her role as Missy on Netflix's #BigMouth: “Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people… In me playing Missy, I was engaging in an act of erasure of Black people” https://t.co/PKGXs9WnJF pic.twitter.com/8bY71TsssT

Yeah, and white people writing black characters, it is like a form of slavery in and of itself too of course. Controlling their thoughts even, so wrong. White people playing black characters in a game, another element to consider. White people impose themselves too much overall

as a biracial… why not cast a biracial of AA diaspora in the role.. like not brain surgery here.

not white.. not 100% black.. but biracial like the character being portrayed..

speaking for myself.. & no doubt a few others

Would word that better – also the character is basically a girl who is a nerd but does not cover it from a detailed black experience. Similar to token from South Park.
