True enough about casting whites as native Americans and all other than whites without batting an eye…in this case I think there’s a bit of just plain unnecessary whining going on, I’m more miffed that my ginger boy has brown hair …

Sorry but the books were ambiguous and I actually thought she’d be a black Londoner then.

The original cast grew up and moved on and so should people with their ‘nude’ colored glasses, this stuff bugs me because in my world of speaking about personal self development, leadership, etc I just see it as the non-evolving of our collective pysches and many need to just get over it already…that’ll be the true next evolution of humans as we know it.

Michelle that 19 hours and 39 minutes of spoken speech for whites to a mere 6 minutes and 18 seconds for everybody else stat is, well wow!

And yet the white narcissistic world has to argue about the OTWs getting those 6 minutes and 18 seconds. Let’s get on the net and make enough noise to keep them from getting any more.

Reba#2,, I read it too and I didn’t read it as white. Are we supposed to believe that anyone not mentioned as another race is white. That isn’t logical since my race is only about 15% of the world population.

It’s the very fact that Hermione’s race is so little discussed in the books that made this kind of speculation possible — bushy hair, which in the movies became Emma Watson’s sleek curls, could easily be kinky-curly, and the one time her skin is mentioned in Prisoner of Azkaban it’s described as “brown” after a summer holiday, which could mean anything. But it’s also the fact that her skin color isn’t mentioned that makes fans read it as white.

I’m white and I don’t read it as white.

We all know that this will not sit well with white folk. They have no problems playing native americans, or any other ethnic group or race, but their is supposed to be sacred.
