I see people getting all outraged by Angelina playing Marriane Pearl but, honestly, does Marriane identify as black or Latina? I thought her mom was of Cuban descent and that her dad was European. She's not black to me and I don't subject foreigners to the "one drop" rule that Americans use. Yes, she's brown but she's had a totally different life than most American blacks and certainly most Latina blacks. Whose was supposed to play her? A Puerto Rican chick from some barrio?

What is Angelina anyway? She seems to be a conglomeration anyway. How many of the people who are complaining about this have actually bought/read the book or even kept up with the story when it was happening?
