CMV: Preventing people who aren't people of colour from portraying people of colour is also racist.

Mike Henry (a white male) has stepped down from voicing Cleveland Brown on Family Guy amid a growing call from the American public that characters of colour should only be voiced by people of colour.

But doesn't that just sound like racism with extra steps? It's basically saying that you and yours cannot do this particular thing because you and yours are not part of this particular ethnic group.

Also, shouldn't it go both ways? Should Christopher Judge (a black-cherokee male) step down from portraying Kratos in the God of War franchise because Judge himself isn't Greek?

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, change my view.

It has to be understood in context.  In "the perfect world" you'd be right, but in our world the assumption here is that these roles aren't given to black people _because they are black people_ (or perhaps that the white guy has more gas in the tank in these circles because they are NOT black).

So...if you arrive at the place where  you think that had YOU been black you'd not have got the role that is a black person and that a black person also qualified didn't get it because they were black, then....well....that's not cool, eh?
