What an idiot. Apparently (s)he didn't bother to actually watch The Josephine Baker Story, because her being a black woman and how it affected her was about 85% of the plot.
What, is the idea of an incredible black woman too much for people to bear?!
Yep, we're either Mammy, Jezebel, or Sapphire.
coolstorybro: My father claims to be distantly related to Josephine Baker, but I'm a bit dubious.
Yeah, I don't really see people giving Josephine the nickname Black Pearl for being a white woman. I also don't see The Powers That Be being so "post-racial" that they would be willing give a leading role to a black actress if they could just use a white actress.
Heh, if I was in your father's shoes I would probably milk it for all it's worth.
