25 Times White Actors Played People Of Color And No One Really Gave A S**t

Think blackface and yellowface are a thing of the past? Get ready to cringe.
From: Huffington Post
 As if it wasn't enough that Hollywood lacks serious diversity behind and in front of the camera, the industry also has a nasty (not so) little habit of giving diverse roles to white actors. 

That means that while an average of 75.2 percent of speaking roles already go to white actors, according the recent University of Southern California study "Inequality in 700 Popular Films," some of those parts are actually characters of color.

Over time we have come to expect a tsunami-sized wave of backlash when an actor of color is cast as a fictional character that audiences feel should be white -- see controversies over Michael B. Jordan as the Human Torch or Amandla Stenberg as Rue of "The Hunger Games" -- but the outrage isn't quite the same when white actors portray characters of color. Even when, often, they are based of off real-life people of color. 

Think whitewashing, blackface and yellowface are things of the past? Get ready to cringe. Here are 25 times white actors played people of color and no one really gave a sh*t.


Angelina Jolie 
as 
Mariane Pearl

Film
"A Mighty Heart" (2007) is based on the real-life ordeal of journalist Mariane Pearl after her husband Daniel, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, is kidnapped and later murdered by Pakistani militants. 

Character's Background
Mariane Pearl was born in France but she is of Afro-Cuban descent. She has naturally curly hair and a dark complexion.

Actress' Background
Angelina Jolie has no African roots. None. Zero. She is of mixed-European descent. Her hair is not naturally curly, her skin is naturally fair and her eyes are actually blue-green. Behold (above), present-day blackface.
