I don't get it: Why did they cast a white actress as Hilary?

Karyn Parsons is half-black. She has one white parent and one black parent. In the United States, that counts as black. You can tell she is mixed; she doesn't look white to me.

Yeah, she is more like a light skinned black due to her parents being mixed.

Karyn Parsons, who played the role, is not white. She is a mullatto, meaning that she has mixed parents.

mullatto is derogatory term, hana

Oh, it's like the n-word. Well, no one told me that. So don't blame me.

Hana is a derogatory term, Rama.

Mulatto was used during slavery and is racist.
