The Amazing Japer

It must really be shitty to get cast in a dream role only to have the internet discourse center around the fact that ... (checks notes) you're just not black enough. 🤔

@theamazingjaper No doubt, but when one exists in a system that places such an emphasis on skin color is it really any surprise?

Especially when darker-colored people who typically get the shorter, shittier end of the stick?

@Screenphiles
True, but people rarely talk about how lighter-skinned black people often get told they aren't black enough to exist in black spaces and I think that's pretty bad too. I just feel bad for him. He's perfect for this role.

@theamazingjaper The whole situation sucks and there's plenty of terrible to go around.
