| He may be very light, but you have no way of knowing from a quick conversation whether he is very white, unless of course, you asked him. I appreciate the casting as a way to push the audiences thinking on race and colorism. It is clear that the character of Daniel is of both African and French descent. I think that the fact that we think that means he has to read as darker than Powell (who as I understand it, is also of African and European descent) is a problem in our perception, and I appreciate Arden's push on it. | |
