The document discusses the problematic practice in Hollywood of casting white actors in roles meant for people of color. It notes that Angie Jolie played a role meant for a woman of color in A Mighty Heart. It also contains a casting call that separates women into categories based on their race and appearance, including skin tone and hair, in a discriminatory way.

3. WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY IN CASTING?
• IN HOLLYWOOD, MANY ROLES
REQUIRE VARIOUS ETHNICITIES.
HOWEVER, IT IS FAR TO COMMON TO
REPLACE ETHNIC ROLES WITH WHITE
ACTORS. THIS FORM OF CASTING IS
PROBLEMATIC NOT ONLY IN STIFLING
ETHNIC CAREERS, BUT IN IDEALIZING
THE WHITE FORM OVER OTHER RACES,
AND CREATING A NARRATIVE THAT
DEEMS WHITE SKIN AS MORE
ATTRACTIVE AND APPEALING.
