No shade to @Zendaya but when I was a kid back watching @Disney Shake it up I legit thought that Rocky Blue was a white girl until I was shown otherwise. In South Africa biracials have their own racial category so the image of black women was always unambiguous. To me.

Again. This isn't me throwing shade @Zendaya but Shake it up was the first time I was introduced to Western media casting biracials to play roles meant for unambiguous black women. I mean. Look at what the parents looked like in the show.

Took me 12 episodes of season 1 until we met the mom for me to realise she was black and even then I assumed that the dad was prolly white until the 5th episode of the 2nd season.
I ain't trying to stir up drama with this thread & talk abt how she don't deserve her spot on the show but really? They couldn't pick actors that matched @Zendaya's her skin tone & phenotype to play her parents? Or cast one of the parents as white so Rocky could be biracial?
