I understand what you are saying, but I guess I am asking if we give each individual the benefit of the doubt when it comes to looking at the role? You talked about if a character whose race is not a big part of him, would you apply that to any character or just characters of color?
For example, a black character who...being black isn't really a huge part of their character, being cast as a white person in a movie or tv show?
