Whitewashing characters happens all the fucking time and is terrible

Could you imagine growing up and not seeing yourself ever represented, or only represented in harmful, untrue stereotypes? The fact they broke the white actress mold for a major studio film is a god damn miracle, even in this day and age. If people said something like that when a white character is made black, what would be the reaction?

Halina:
GUYS: On a scale from 1-10, how much would it bother you if your girlfriend flirted with other guys once when she was drunk?

Halina:
Do you feel like that's something you'd have to know about if it was just flirting (just talking, not kissing or anything)?

Sanora:
So i'm not sure what I'm asking for exactly other than a vague cry for advice.

Sanora:
Still...I can't help but feel heartbroken and just plain empty.

Sanora:
I just wanted to apologize and explain myself.

Sanora:
When I went back, I made it abundantly clear to her that I was not trying to win her heart, I've long since accepted her feelings or lack thereof for me.

Sanora:
I mean I've been her friend for the time equivalent of a high school senior yet she chooses that asshole over me.

Sanora:
When she told me, my heart immediately shattered and I made the only choice that i could feasibly do at the time, leave the room without explanation because I absolutely could not stay there any longer.

Sanora:
Very recently, I learned that she had lost her virginity to a scumbag who basically used her for sex then never talked to her again.

Sanora:
I've told her before in high school but she made it abundantly clear that she does not have any feelings for me that extend beyond friendship.
