Well to be fair, people on here and the movie board freak the frick out when they change a book or historical character from white to black.........


And the Rock absolutely does not match Big John Henrys folk tale appearance

The Rock's dad is a black Canadian from Nova Scotia and his mom is Samoan. It seems like he would be someone who would keep everyone happy.

He is half black, but Canadian black so he isn't the perceived US black person.. So he has enough black to be okay with black people and the type of black that white people are likely to be okay with.

Then Somoan people are a mix of Asian people and I guess native people, they are big people of course, there is some German & New Zealand mixed in with some Somoans. Really, the Rock is pretty much his own race.

He should just do this to everyone who gives him problems.

I don't really see the point of fueling a few outlandish post on Twitter.

Half black obama and half black Tiger are black enough for them, however.

I thought the problem was with Maui being obese, not guy doing the voice.

He has the exact same background as Tiger Woods, which is kind of random when you think about it. The highest paid athlete and actor have black dads and Thai Moms.
