Netflix’s Hit Show ‘Wednesday’ Is Being Called ‘Racist’ for casting Blacking Actors as Bullies
Have you seen the new series yet?
Director Tim Burton and Netflix are under fire from fans who claim the casting and undertones of the new series “Wednesday” are racist.
The show which premiered centres around Wednesday Addams as she attends boarding school.
Critics have taken issue with black actress Joy Sunday playing a mean girl at Nevermore Academy and black actor Iman Marson portraying a bully and the son of a corrupt mayor.
A rep for Burton, who is both the producer and executive producer for the series as dismissed the flak…
The rep pointed out what is racist, Day Light Savings Time, referencing an article put out by CNN last week.
This isn’t the first time Burton, 64, has been criticized on the subject of actors of colour in his projects. In 2016, while promoting “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” star Samuel L. Jackson speculated he was the first black lead of a Burton film.
