It pains me to write this on a day that should be filled with nothing but celebration and admiration toward my peers. To feel as though there is a corporate flyer with a risk assessment eval stating how much one can get away with before receiving an inordinate amount of backlash.

We can sit here and argue the merits of "right for the role" vs "auto cast because of ethnicity" but let's also not pretend that the quality provided by minority actors is less than the quality of their peers. Inclusion gives us the ability to tell the stories of our backgrounds.
Even if it is a cookie cutter project where race ultimately could be neglected, character coding still exists, therefore bringing forth racial relatability to minority consumers. Unfortunately, the more obscure the minority, the easier it is to sweep under the rug. Sad but true.
I have a duty to my peers to use my platform. To speak for those whose voices go unheard. May there come a day where the ambiguous nature of remote recording allowances is foregone and opportunities are provided to actors and directors alike to make the best possible products.

Appreciate you so much Nazeeh
There’s always great talent within underrepresented communities out there. People just need to make the effort to find them and give them a chance.

They address race in the show : space or earth. Everyone is unviable to voice characters born in space.

I totally agree, especially bcuz it often directly impacts the quality of the work. I think about, rest in peace, Chadwick Boseman’s fight for the inclusion of african accents in Black Panther and how different the quality of his performance would have been had he not advocated
My stance is that unless there's genuine reason to believe that they were cast solely for some inclusion bingo card's sake, then to assume they were chosen on their merits.

The great thing about animation is that anyone can voice any character, so race is completely irrelevant.

If you're so concerned with what race an voice actor is why is your profile pic a blond hair white character?

*japan has been accused of bigotry for casting Japanese voice actor/actress (insert Japanese persons name) for most black characters \other races in general in the Japanese DUB of all their anime properties

So next time you're cast, you're going to turn down the role because the character doesn't share the same race identity as you?
Replying to
Doesnt that mean that you can't voice anime since anime characters are Japanese?
Nobody should be limited to a role because they don't fit the race.
Replying to
Most of your characters are white japanese. I hope you refuse to continue giving them voice and wait for roles that reflect your ethnicity.

I hope next time you reject voicing an east asian character, or even better let people voice act regardless of their race.

Imagine shitting on your co-worker and demeaning their work to the color of their skin

Throwing your peers under the bus just to virtue signal is not a good look buddy.
