Italic Roots members complain Hollywood casts Mexicans and Palestinians as Italians

[Rafael Passoni]

I remember Olivia Hussey (Argentine and therefore Hispanic and Latina according to US census) playing Juliet Capuleto in Romeo and Juliet (1969). But it's not due to Italians or their descendants, but due to US Census.

He played an Italian on the movie Godzilla, he is Sephardi Jew actually.

Do you think that counts as dark washing of italians? How many times did Anglos played Italians? Do you think more often Arabs or Jews played Italians then Anglos? And how often does that happen, and do you see a darkwashing of italians by Hollywood? Most Italians in movies are Italian Americans I think. I dont see a darkwashing of Italians.

Im not on ItalicRoots but a member of ItalicRoots messages me on Facebook and tells me that stuff. I dont know why he does that, it is not really particulary my concern whether Italians are dark or blonde. He thinks maybe I want to know that thats why he tells me that.

add me on facebook

I don't see darkwashing of Italians on the movies, but i have noticed that many Jewish actors have played Italians on movies...

Jews have played White Americans too like in the sitcom Big Bang Theory. And jews are everywhere, and they played white americans.

But there are white Mexicans too, I've thought the OP question is about Nationalities. LOL

No it is obvious they complain about "darkwashing" of Italians. If you know who ItalicRoots is it is obvious.

Hailee Steinfeld's played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (2013) and she is Filipina.
Here they classify her as "multiracial"

I don't know if it is an argument. LOL

Oh, yeah.... Hollywood is going out of its way to smear Italians and their Whiteness....

Italicroots (all 4 or 5 members) is a place for mentally ill individuals. That forum is an example of what happens when you take anthro forums too seriously.
