I have no doubt > you'll figure that out, eventually. Your point is about nothing else but other people whining when it's observed correctly. One hears it often enough in other contexts.

The rest, the stuff asking why hadn't people already spoken up is moot since people had. > > Correct me if I misunderstood you... but are you saying you think it's > important for Black people to be upset with AJ playing a biracial woman > because it could segue into white guys portraying King in Blackface someday?
