fake somalis in movies very insulting

Post by omar07 »

It came to my attention these movie makers don't even want to hire real Somalis do the Somali role :lol:
or somalis don't want to be seen in the movies ? I was insulting to see some west africans taking the role
and talking gibberish Somali words there is not even single word you can understand.

here is one example

watch this movie dirty pretty things 2002
about Nigerian immigrant being chased down in London by the immigrations
and his secretly helping other immigrants

Lol! WTF? As long as the actor is black, i doubt the directors care if they're actually Somali or not.

The general movie going audience cannot distinguish between a Somali and any other black, so why would the Jewish producer give two hoots whether or not the actor is an actual Somali or not???

somalis are black people and the somali part will be played a black actor. i dont see any problems of that. our skinn is one of darkest people on this planet and white people can not see different between african black people including as somalis for them DINKA=SOMALI. so be happy what allah made you (black person) and somali part will be played by a black actor and NOT as some of you would líke it an ARAB ACTOR. damn negros
