I think that would explain why the brother and mom look white while the leaked mini doll had the medium skin tone. But even then I don’t think it’s a good plan for AG to cast an actress who is visibly white to play a potentially racially mixed character, especially since year after year, the dissenting crowd gets louder on their lack of representation in the GOTY line. Their use of the word “mixed” in the casting call implies we may at least get a minority mixed character so it would be quite the slap in the face if they actually referred to a character who is for example, mixed white German and white French.Lilly Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758163542985764322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-47940349956309616582015-11-11T08:40:40.236-06:002015-11-11T08:40:40.236-06:00I am surprised at the casting.

That's it! If it isn't enough to not have a dark skin tone GOTY for this year (as always because we keep hopping and never happens ) we they please us with making her tanned (but that isn't pleasing us either) but NOOOOO!!!!! This time we can at least have something close to a black goty (well the closest we can get) and they ruined it by making the tanned girl white and her family blonde with blue eyes! If it isn't a thing is the other. I can't even believe it!

It is incredibly frustrating for AG's minority customers (and many white customers as well) to see the constant lack of characters of color. As a customer base we can't simply sit back and only focus on the good, because it gives AG the impression they can continue this unacceptable trend. We need to dissent and be vocal about our frustration and anger over this issue, and constantly increase pressure on the company to acknowledge the lack of diversity in their GOTY line and to address this. The cast they selected for the movie is very talented, and that was never in doubt. However, it is a problem if AG has created yet another white GOTY character when we have only had one full minority character over a decade ago, or if AG is casting an actress with a white phenotype to represent a potentially racially mixed character.Lilly Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758163542985764322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-36552566453044713212015-11-09T20:03:07.081-06:002015-11-09T20:03:07.081-06:00People people why can't we just look on the br...People people why can't we just look on the bright side?
