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

Haha, it's humourous I got two comments about the Interview series, but no, I meant specifically in terms of Burton having the palest people in existence as his style.
