And yet people still don’t get it. There focused, (or derailing), on if Zoe is black or defending her cause she is a Latino under fire, deservedly under fire mind you.

This was done with the intention of tarnishing her legacy. These people know how important her dark skin blackness was to her….machavelian move

When I found out they were actually gonna cast Zoe, I was sick to my stomach… Like… How you put a black woman in BLACK FACE like there wasn’t A BILLION more DARK SKINNED talented black actresses on the planet, not just in America…. Wow….

Zoe just needs to sincerely own up to fucking this up. And people discussing this need to not leave the writer/director’s name, Cynthia Mort out of it because she deserves just as much if not MORE heat, and she’s not getting it. Also, the production company, Ealing Studios. You can bet your ass both are happy that all the heat is on Zoe.

But I agree with you. It bothers me that I’m always told that I do strong female characters. When in reality, I look at my characters and I feel like they were all broken. They all came from a very devastating past. They were trying to achieve something, they had hope, and they wanted to get someplace, like everything other character that has a meaningful and relevant arc in the story. It’s because we don’t really know women. We don’t write women accurately. We don’t see women the way that we should see women as a society, as a human race. When you see a real woman, you shouldn’t be saying she’s strong, you should be saying she’s real. I’m not saying that Gamora is an exception, but you look at my character in Columbiana, and she’s stealthy, she’s agile, she’s physical. But even if I wasn’t physically agile, she would still carry the baggage of whatever happened in my childhood. And I handle myself in the way that I feel a woman should be. I don’t create it. It’s just something that comes natural. So when people think they are paying me a compliment, in reality what we are saying as a society and as an art society, is that we need to focus more on the real aspect of what a woman is, and not the superficial cosmetic features of a woman as a muse to inspire us to create calendar girls. To create bombshells. To create serviceable characters, beautiful paintings of the girl with a pearl earring: if there’s nothing there behind it, it’s just her face - what’s the story?

Zoe Saldana, speaking to Den of Geek. These musings in particular are so wonderfully expressed. (via pixiegrace)
