Thisb68 is hollywood at its racist, they can't or wont get a brown person to play an indian and cast this black guy, who hates racism when it comes to blacks but is more than happy to reap from it.
Seriously no asians to play an indian???

Irrfan Khan was cast in the role but had to pull out of the film a few weeks before filming. Chiwetel was a last minute casting. Perhaps not ideal, but he did a great job.

I 100% agree with you about Hollywood being stupid to not find an Indian man to play an INDIAN character Venkat kapoor. It's not that hardjust ask Irfan khan (life of pi, Jurassic world, namesake) or Anil kapoor (slumdog millionaire)

In his own words, the character has been changed to half Indian half black. His name is now "Vincent Kapoor", not "Venkat Kapoor". Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85fPHU6HXkI (First few minutes).

Seriously, how often does that happen? Not enough for you to complain about it,I can say that. It's hard all around for actors of color to get decent roles period. Also what movie and role are you even talking about?
