I can't feel too bad when she was told she was not thin enough for a film where she was in brown face anyway (shes talkin about Prince of Persia)

LOL, this

She had a fake tan as the character. Same with Jake

[burntxtoashes]

they did fake tan her a lot.

Girl she doesn't have to be masked in literal brown paint for it to be brown face. She had a dark tan and a black wig.

Its not a movie with a white woman with an assumedly fake tan though. She literally tanned to be brown/middle eastern passing for a middle eastern character in a movie set in the middle east. That in itself is brownface.

And im Persian too.

Yeah I get it, my family is light skinned too but stereotypically we are depicted as brown, dark etc so I found it super transparent that they found white actors and made them look stereotypically middle eastern so they could be played off as convincing middle eastern characters. Ridiculous.

And yeah I've mentioned it a few times before on here. Salaam bb!

Ew. I mean, that's still fucked up but fuck her too.
