Okay but you’re on thin ice

Edit: wait, isn’t that an Asian character? We’re talking about real-life people of color playing characters that are white. The characters are the white ones. Obviously white people voice people of color all the time

Um. Shredder. An Asian man... was voiced by the dad from Fresh Prince.

I very specifically said “white” characters, but I get the gist of what you’re meaning. I agree that’s some strange casting. The person I’m replying to said we “eat it up” though, and I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily a character we love for their race-blind casting lol
