Re: So, should Santa be black?

It does not have to be changed, it's not a matter of necessity. It would simply be nice to see other takes on his character.

And no, casting movies should not be random. Casting should make sense. That is why different Santas could contribute to the image of the character - because their differences are what gives artists more opportunities to play with the idea.

DA but I think what they meant was that casting calls should be open to everyone.

In general, yes. But if the producers specifically want their character to be white, why would they call for non-white actors?

DA

I don't think producers should limit race when casting something like Santa. They should be open to everyone. I can't really think of a good reason why Santa in a movie should only be cast white.

wwwwellll maybe because the producers want the aesthetics to stay the same? If they go for the traditional, look-im-santa!11 image of Santa, why ever would limiting their casting call to white people be an issue?
