Ok that’s great and all but what if someone outside of a ethnic group can do a solid performance? As I’ve already said acting is all about playing someone you’re not so I don’t see the need for an actor to have the same Scottish-indigenous American-Mexican and Somali heritage of a character.
Back when I was 16 my teacher held me after class and told me that me wearing yoga pants and skinny jeans was a “distraction” his words not mine. To this day this story is an odd source of pride for me. To be fair I couldn’t blame him.
