Cripface, Blackface

1. Is it fair to cast White, Christian, able actors if there aren't enough community actors available? Why might producers use this as an excuse?  its alright with me like what if the people they wanted suck at acting or the one who are good at acting  just didn't want to do the part. so yeah this could be used as an excuse in my mind.


2. Is there a differences between cripface and practices likes blackface or casting White actors as Asians, Aboriginals, etc. If so, why? If not, why do we accept cripface but not these other practices?  cripface is not as bad as the other because there isn't much actor that have disability's and if there were some they might now even take the job for the show same goes with casting whites as Asians, Aboriginals there might not be some Asians or Aboriginals who would take acting classes, but blackface is just stupid like it makes me mad as HELL!!    

3. Actors often play characters who are significantly different than themselves such as aliens, members of the opposite sex, or people from other times or places. What is the difference between this and "face" casting?
Is it more important that writers and producers come from the community being represented?  if its aliens who cares its not like they live here having to watch it and even if they do come here and watch it, we would be long dead before they get here (TRUMP!!!!!!)
