But at Geeks Represent, we especially value stories told from the perspectives of people of all kinds of races and cultures. We feel it\u2019s incredibly important to not only have these stories told with sincerity but to tell them well through accurate portrayals of people of color. This is why it\u2019s especially disheartening when instead of taking the opportunity to portray these characters as they were meant to be portrayed, they\u2019re instead miscast with white actors. So without further ado, let\u2019s talk about racebending and whitewashing in Hollywood. Geeks Represent will be taking a small break to prepare for the holiday season. We will see you in 2022!
