Kanye West’s “Season 4” Casting Call Asks For “Multiracial” Women Only Here we thought that Labor Day weekend was gonna be filled with barbecue , momma’s potato salad, a few drinks, family and friends. Nope. Kanye West just hit “tweet” on this doozy of a casting call and we can already tell that all hell 140-character hell is about to break loose… pic.twitter.com/o8sB124An3 — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 3, 2016 Historically, casting calls are notoriously biased. The person doing the casting is looking for something very specific and that often leaves a lot of people (see, black or darker skinned) with no real shot to land the gig. Hell, sometimes the casting call will forego the coded language and get right down to the nitty-gritty, like Straight Outta Compton . Being that many believe Mr. West’s perceived history with colorism is sordid at best, the cynicism surrounding his casting requirements is Wiz Khalifa high… I LOVE KANYE BUT THIS IS SO PROBLEMATIC LIKE WTF — ️️️️ (@caringarianas) September 3, 2016 Then there are others who think Kanye is just trying to gently weed out white girls without hurting their feelings… i'm hoping what kanye saying with the “we only want multiracial women” part is just a nice way of him saying no white chicks — Ahmed/Zaywop Stan (@big_business_) September 3, 2016 It should be noted that there were multiple darker-skinned models in Kanye’s past fashion shows who may not have been “multiracial”. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see what shakes, but one thing’s for certain, two is for sure, Twitter is gonna be an ugly place for Kim Kardashian’s husband over the next 48 hours or so. What do you think of Kanye’s casting call? Does he deserve the benefit of the doubt in regards to his “multiracial” intentions? Flip the page to see some of the funniest, most confused, scathing and poignant tweets so far. Image via Splash/Fameflynet/Twitter
