Hayden Christensen Saddened by Racist Remarks About Kenobi Co-Star Moses Ingram (rant)

Ok, I’m about the open a can of worms here but it is the rant after all. Here’s the thing. I hadn’t heard about racist comments being made about Ingram though that doesn’t surprise. I never condone racism and to disparage any actor over race is wrong; however, she is really awful for that role—not because of her race or ethnicity—but because it just doesn’t seem to fit her. Either that or she just can’t act, but I refuse to believe that’s the case. Should we just ignore her performance is bad because she is a person of color, because that’s just as racist. Her approach to the character is cardboard and flat. She makes bland choices. The show is great, but that’s in spite of Ingram’s performance which just doesn’t seem to work. I think in any other day and age a producer would recast that or go in a different direction but in a world where Disney is trying to be a beacon of woke, they are ignoring better judgment. Also, I can think of many other black artists who could knock that role out of the park. Color has nothing to do with it.
