The people behind the 'The Simpsons,' 'Family Guy,' 'Big Mouth' and 'Central Park' are rethinking which actors should be able to voice non-white roles.
"At the start of the show, I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play 'Missy' because her mom is Jewish and White — as am I," Slate wrote. "But Missy is also Black, and Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people."
"In me playing 'Missy,' I was engaging in an act of erasure of Black people," she continued."Ending my portrayal of 'Missy' is one step in a life-long process of uncovering the racism in my actions." "Most importantly though, to anyone that I've hurt: I am so very sorry," she wrote."Black voices must be heard. Black Lives Matter."
"This is a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity," Bell wrote."Playing the character of Molly on Central Park shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege. Casting a mixed race character with a white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and Black American experience."
