Kristen Bell stepping down from being the voice of a mixed race character

“Kristen Bell says she will no longer voice the role of mixed-race character Molly Tillerman in the animated series Central Park.
The 39-year-old Frozen star made the announcement on social media, sharing a message from the production team with her 14.4 million Instagram followers.
In a message written alongside the group statement, Bell said now was "a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity".
She went on: "Playing the character of Molly on Central Park shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege.
"Casting a mixed-race character with a white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and Black American experience. It was wrong and we, on the Central Park team, are pledging to make it right."

She should donate all precious proceeds to the less fortunate. It’s only fair

So who exactly would be allowed to play Tiger Woods’ unique racial make up in a movie?

What in the hell does this even mean?
I mean... I know she's virtue signaling and all... but geez.
What an absolute loon.

OK, STOP CASTING BLACK ACTORS IN HISTORICALLY WHITE ROLES THEN.
I'm looking at you Little Mermaid.

I’m glad she realized the error of her ways. As a mixed child myself I kept thinking why can’t this cartoon character be voiced by someone who looks like me? We’re hurting here and the microagressiins from people like Bell only compounds the pain.

I've dated multiple chicks hotter than she is.

Maybe she wanted out of the contract and this was a can't-lose way to accomplish that.

Jesus Christ. Make it stop.
This does NOTHING but make Bell feel better about herself. It's hollow and improves nothing in the lives of blacks.
