So once more we have to discuss The Simpsons!

.
…but this time because there’s to be a ban on the use of white people’s voices for cartoon ‘people of colour,’ by which, presumably, they mean coloured people!
.

There is no rational explanation for this, nor moral justification. Nobody cares who is doing the voice for any particular character, because IT DOESN’T matter!
The children ( and parents, who sometimes watch with them) cannot see the person speaking, only the cartoon.
The only individuals who do pretend they care are the rich toe-rags, like media hacks, slimy celebs, pinko politicians, dog-collared race-baiters…
.

..
…with nothing better to do than cast about mentally for new and as yet unexploited and absolutely unimagined grievances.
Honest working people, normal people, never think about using trivia to gain cheap publicity, never mind determine who gets to do whose voice on a kiddies cartoon show.
But hold on!
Somebody has explained it for us, not with reference to The Simpsons,but to another show for little kids.
She explains the issue clearly, showing genuine signs of having analysed her reasoning for seconds and seconds.
Or read it in an antifa fortune cookie!
Oh, and BTW, Kristen Bell campaigned for Obummer in 2008.

Ms. Bell also, and more impressively, provided the voice of Molly, a mixed-race child, in the cartoon series Central Park…
But, she declares, like St. Paul on the Road to Damascus, she suddenly understands that doing so displayed “a lack of awareness”.
“Casting a mixed race character [with a] white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and Black American experience,” she added.

WTH ( note my H, not the rude F) is she gibbering about?
As noted at the top of my page…
