A casting call for the NWA biopic went out this week and it's pretty...uh...racist. See the call for poor, out of shape Black girls inside.
Director F. Gary Gray and producers Ice Cube and Dr. Dre are hard at work on , the NWA biopic, and all they need now is to complete the cast of extras. To do this,
Black Oakley Sunglasses, they enlisted Sande Alessi Casting. Here's the problem, the casting call they put on Facebook seems a little racist. Actually, it's a lot racist.
From a glance, Straight Outta Compton needs a group of well-built African American street thugs and dark-skinned out of shape poor Black girls. Oh....and Sande really values women who have real hair. Potential actors who wear weaves are NOT the hottest of the hottest. And Fine girls are light-skinned Beyonce types will natural hair.
Really Sande Alessi?
Doesn't this just make you cringe?
UPDATE:
TMZ to a rep for Sande Alessi Casting who said the ad was an innocent mistake -- and when it comes to casting the poor people, they're also looking for women of various skin tones and body types
