The serpent eats itself…

Samuel L Jackson has criticised the casting of black British actors in roles about American race relations.

In an interview with the New York radio station Hot 97, Jackson suggested that Jordan Peele’s satirical horror film Get Out, which starred British actor Daniel Kaluuya as an African-American man falling victim to white liberal racism, could have benefited from having an American actor as its lead.

So black British actors are stealing black US actors’ jobs. Surely we have reached the absurdity event horizon. No one, it seemed, objected when an American actor recently Winston Churchill.

I am so pleased to be living in a world where this is a big issue.
