[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how that casting call is racist. They had to ask for the look they wanted. [/quote]

You cannot really be this jawdroppingly stupid.  They couldn't just say light skinned black women wanted to play video vixens and dark skinned black women wanted for character roles?  They had to rank it from A to D in order of skin color and connect skin color to beauty, class and values?  I think you know exactly what is wrong with that casting call and you are just a dick who doesn't care how women of color are treated.[/quote]

Your comments are due to a lack of understanding of the entertainment and movie industry.  Directors don't have the time or money to waste time with PC. They were specific b/c they were trying to portray/project a specific imagine. Sometimes that image is offensive. For instance, if a specific scene or role calls for the casting of a very obese south eastern Asian woman (darker skinned), the casting call for this would not be too flattering. The most important thing for the actress that accepts the role is to nail it. Then it opens her up for better opportunities.[/quote]
The descriptions are what they are but the ranking of ABCD? No. Wasn't needed for a casting call.[/quote]
