Odessa A’zion recently announced she would be backing out of an upcoming film based on the novel “Deep Cuts.” Apparently her casting in the role of Zoe Gutierrez generated some social media uproar due to the fact that the character is half-Mexican, while A’zion is not at all Mexican.
TheWrap’s article on this story quoted a few of those complaining on X over A’zion’s casting: One said, “I can tell you right now there are thousands of beautiful, talented and passionate Mexican actors out there waiting for their big break … To see a white woman steal that opportunity in the current political climate is not only disgusting but also disheartening.
