WIth a second movie now in the works, the Hunger Games racists are back:
The worst one is the person who says “omg why would a black dude play a super smart guy (unless he’s morgan freeman).”
Click on the photos to enjoy all the racist outrage that the always-excellent Jeffrey Wright has been cast in the role of Beetee.
Incidentally, my sense is if you write that you can’t possibly enjoy a movie once black actors have been cast, then the studio should put your name on a list of people who aren’t allowed to buy a ticket.
HT: Jamelle Bouie.
