Actors Matching Characters, Colourism, Misogynoir, Friendship & Pet Peeves | ETHNICALLY SPEAKING

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 13:19:44 +0000

Anissa, Linda E, Luanda Yasmin and Sophie Hannah are back for another laugh-out-loud episode of Ethnically Speaking. This week, the ladies debate whether actors should only be cast in roles that match their gender, race or sexuality, problems of colourism and misogynoir in the entertainment industry, where your loyalties should lie when your best friend cheats on their partner, and pet peeves when living with partners, family or friends.

00:00 Intro
01:57 Should roles only be played by actors of the same gender, race and sexual orientation as the character, whether live action or animation?
18:38 Does hip-hop have a problem with colourism and misogynoir, and is it time that we do something about it?
37:19 If you discover that your best friend is cheating on their partner, whom you also know, where do your loyalties lie?
54:42 What are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to sharing a living space with other people?
