How many times does this whitewashing crap have to happen? Where the source characters are explicitly non-white, yet they are made white by "market forces"? // Though honestly, the comment by Don Fitch @59 just makes me sad. As an 80-year-old white male, he sees his fellow human beings ("young, Black, female") as alien creatures? What a pitiful world view.
