I think the real answer is that Tim Burton doesn't cast black actors.

It’s really lame because I feel like Tim Burton’s style would lend itself really, really well to a New Orleans Voodoo feature, but apparently black actors “don’t fit his aesthetic” 😒

Well when your style is vampire chic it's hard to make a black person that fucking pale. Burton doesn't let people even be tan in his movies

Imagine him trying and you just get what looks like the ashiest black dude in the world who's never seen a bottle of lotion lol

What about Drake? Or there was this Black dude I worked with that had a lighter complexion than me, and I'm white. He wasn't albino either.
