2 years agoCasting a white actor and then putting them in blackface so they can play a black person is inherently disrespectful. The history of blackface is too racist and disgusting, that to choose that over simply casting a black person would be wildly out of line.
The way I’m reading that comment is that big noses are a Jewish stereotype, and since the studio decided to cast a white gentile and just stick a prosthetic nose on him, they’re leaning into that stereotype. They should’ve cast someone who was Jewish and also looked like the guy (as a whole… not only his nose).
