Keep it real queen. And she's not only covering the area of darker skinned black artists, her point encompasses darker skinned performers of ALL races. If ya Mexican in the script, they're more likely to cast an American/European-looking Spanish person, or someone mixed, rather than a full-bred Mexican. Same with Asians. Look at Oliver on HTGAWM--he talks and looks like a typical American dude.
The most common times these neglected artists are offered the chance to make a name for themselves is when they step out and behave in a completely different manner than the other artists that share their semblance. Meanwhile, tens and tons of white actors who look and behave similar (and are essentially in the same lane) get just as many opportunities as their counterparts.
