I don't see the problem. She dates white men in real life so why can't she do it on screen? I don't think she's being paired with white men for shock value, at least.

I think Hollywood is a little more excepting of this kind of pairing.....Especially with the A List black hotties....

Maybe you don't see a lot of sex scenes between black actors and white actresses in the mainstream media, but I think they are more commonly paired together romantically than black actresses and white actors.

Have we every had A-List white actresses like Salma Hayak, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Charliz Theron or Nicole Kidman get taken down hard like these sistas by the likes of Denzel, Blair Underwood, Edris Elba, Larry Fishburne or Morris Chestnut??

Nope.


Now I know there have been some black man white woman scene out there. But with those really high end babes?? Naaaah

Her name is Zoe Saldana.

Will the day ever come when actresses and actors are seen first for their talent, and not categorized as a skin color?

Especially in a movie where their color should be irrelevant because it's not part of the film.

I don't see black actors or white actors, I see simply. Actors.

If the reverse was done with as much ease as black female / white male , I would agree.

But it's glaring.....

Because most of the Hollywood writers are white men. It's their fantasy world. White men get all of the hot minority women and regulate minority men to semi-homosexual roles.
