www.cnn.com/2020/06/27/entertainment/mike-henry-cleveland-family-guy-trnd/index.htmlMike Henry, the voice actor of Cleveland from family guy, is stepping down from his role because "persons of color should play characters of color". He's also not the only one to share this opinion, the Simpsons announced they will no longer higher white voice-actors to voice non-white characters. I personally think it's completely unnecessary but maybe I'm just missing some deeper issue with this? At this rate we should just get a real dog to voice Brian.

I dispute that heavily, that's a very subjective matter. ONT: It's his choice, but honestly people have been voicing characters that aren't their race for a looooong time, and I honestly don't see a problem with it. And for Family Guy I don't think it matters either way since they go out of their way to offend as many people as possible and given the willingness of the show to make jokes about everything racism, sexism, and anything in between, it probably won't make much of a difference. I think as long as there is diversity in the characters (either live action or animated) that it doesn't matter who voices them. Obviously with live-action, the actors should also be diverse. |

Same thing with the Simpsons, won't have any white people voicing black characters for example.
This is stupid af, this isn't even a racial problem with TV shows.

Isn't it funny how it's usually white people that simultaneously complain about there not being enough political correctness and there being too much political correctness?

I think it’s more about giving poc representation in media. yeah, there are diverse characters on fictional TV shows but that really doesn’t matter if poc don’t actually get to play and voice these characters in real life.
i mean look at avatar, the live action one. it was white washed as hell and wasn’t even good. it sucked lol
