hollywood might be racist

Another movie about truman capote (the third, if you count jim carrey's the truman show) is coming out and a british guy is playing truman. I think this shows hollywood is racist because they refuse to cast black (or chinese) actors in the role of truman. you may say well truman was gay and white so british is perfect but stupid it is called acting. Face facts -- Superman was a kryptonian but chris reeve wasnt; the woman who played Helen Keller wasn't retarded; the guy in Soul Man wasnt actually black, etc. If a white guy can play a black guy in Soul Man, why cant Michael Clarke Duncan play Truman Capote? I think we all agree Michael Clarke Duncan is a very good actor. Also Chow Yun Fat.

Even if you dont like Mr. Fat, my point is you dont have to be the same race as the character! If you did than we couldnt ever make movies like Planet of the Apes or Star Trek because there are no talking apes or Klingons, at least not professional ape or Klingon actors. Acting is not about looks. I think President Bush looks like a monkey, but that doesn't mean he can act like one. Maybe that's not the best example.
