Who's Telling My Story"

Choose ONE of the following issues that we discusses in class today and write a blog entry expressing your opinion o n the issues in a post titled "Who's Telling My Story"

1. Is it fair to cast White, Christian, abled actors if there aren't enough community actors available? Why might producers use this as an excuse?

 i think they just use that as a excuse cause there is alot of people they can use if they asked but they don't witch inst fair theirs a lot of dabbled people with talent maybe there is people with disables that want to act but cant cause they never get chosen

2. Is there a differences between cripface and practices likes blackface or casting White actors as Asians, Aboriginals, etc. If so, why? If not, why do we accept cripface but not these other practices?

i don't think its fair they should give the chance to the  actual race for the character its abit races not fair for only white people to cast all the characters theirs alot of other races out there with talent too alot of people wanting to reach their dreams but cant cause of what race they are.

3. Actors often play characters who are significantly different than themselves such as aliens, members of the opposite sex, or people from other times or places. What is the difference between this and "face" casting?
Is it more important that writers and producers come from the community being represented?
