hi Sunny

Yeah! Like its not like she'd have the answers on that. They were asking the wrong person and making her uncomfortable. I felt bad too.

lillie rappleye Yeah that was a real dick move by the interview. And then the interviewer just acted like it never happened XD Alycia did a pretty good job trying to avoid the question and moving on with the interview

Lmao "Heda"

HEDA!!

+Susan Hestand ye, fuck titus.... why is he still alive....

Agreed

it's her job to ask those questions as an interviewer I agree that she's not the right person to answer a question like that but it's a good question no matter who it's directed at

she also answered it like a pro

+Bae M. - I agree..

+Bae M. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Race this race that! Maybe white people should boycott Tyler Perry since he only has black actors in his movies, that's racist! Just fucking leave it alone already!

Viking Thor- I don't know why you are getting upset with others. The reporter is the one who brought up race to Alycia. Get mad at the reporter, not us commenting about it. As for Tyler Perry, you can boycott his movies all you want. it does not bother me.

+Viking Thor, he casts white people too.

+Viking Thor Firstly he casts primarily black people, but then again most of his movies were set in specific neighbourhoods that are predominantly black and his stories also centered around Madea's family. However there are other ethnicities present in a lot of his other movies that he has been developing. Additionally, one black man versus a billion white owned studios ... people like Tyler Perry exist BECAUSE in A LOT of cases it would be the only way the majority of black actors have roles that are consistent. I mean its way better for black people than hispanic and asians and it is getting better but the disproportional division of roles available versus populations demographics is still quite staggering . I get that sometimes it can be annoying always having people cry racism/racial prejudice, and I swear I get annoyed by it sometimes as well, but the fact is if people leave it alone already, then change wouldn't happen. Let me give you an example, The 100, which I love, currently has Pike, Jaha the two main black male leads, one is tyrannical in his revenge and one has lost the plot. Have they intentionally done this, I highly doubt it. Did it register to them that this was the case, again probably not. But when you're watching TV you do subconsciously look for you represented in the shows you watch. So as a black person I am more aware of what is happening to the black characters as a group than I am of the white or asian or hispanic characters as a group. So it also easier to pick up on patterns. Additionally, you can argue, that there are also poor portrayals of white people and def in this show this is true, but if you only have four named black characters and two or three are villains, it makes the one good seem like the exception. versus having three or four white villains but then you have seven or eight good ones ... then the bad ones seem like the exception.

The interviewer was wrong for asking her that, because a question like that shouldn't be asked to the actors but to the writers and showrunner - the people who actually create the story and make the creative decisions
