But Missy can't talk about what it's like to be black, only what it's like to be bi-racial with a white Jewish mother, so by your logic they should be saying they are going to find a bi-racial voice actor, not a black one.

Also, wouldn't that be more about the writers, not about the voice actor?

lets be real here, mixed people are viewed as both black and mixed, as two separate things. So while a black voice actor could talk about being black, its probably not best for them to talk about what it like being mixed.

and yes its mainly a writers issue, but its not solely a writers issue.

That's a very weird standard for who should voice who. You could argue that someone who has a real life experience can potentially turn that experience into a better performance, but it's not really necessary.

its not really about being a better performance, but more about being authentic, I as a black man probably shouldnt get on tv and speak about what its like to be a white man from a white mans perspective

For what its worth I def think it can be done, but it requires a lot of care.

and personally its not even that you shouldnt do the character at all, its more you should use that character as a mouth piece if youre gonna do that, especially without putting a lot of care and research into it
