I'm just putting this out there
This is sort of in response to an upcoming episode of Hawaii Five-0, so I'm putting behind a cut.
As a woman with brown skin, I don't find it the least bit offensive when actors are made to be darker than they are to fill a role that a show/movie couldn't get casted by people who actually fit what was being looked for.
Though there was one movie that I found offensive and that was Tropic Thunder. I think that had more to do with the actual actors than anything else.
Also, no, I haven't experienced racism and if I have, I didn't know it and I'm grateful for that and also sorry that those who have experienced it had to. I know, only from what I've seen and read and heard from my parents, aunts and uncles, that it was cruel and shouldn't have happened.
