Gets played by this woman (Letitia Wright):

She absolutely can. But Somalis don’t want to be represented by their dark population. But like India where darker Indians are not seen on tv
Not suprised. And as always AA actors do a horrible portrayal. If you are going to play a part of a different ethnicity at least be convincing or cast someone that is Somali.
They're delusional. Millions of Somali women look like her. I wonder what they see when they look in the mirror

The African-American guy who played Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland used make up to make himself darker.
passing is not the important part. She cant speak the language and knows nothing except maybe what some hollywood directors told her about somalia. in other words be prepared for gibberish language and inaccurate represesntation
the funny thing is these black peope would be so offended if a somali fob played an AA role and started talking like "Yo Yo hippity hop whats up ma neegaa" but they love getting into the stereotypical african role for the white man lol
she actually can pass for somali but her accent is pretty bad
She is beautiful tbh. I just hope she pronounce Somali words right. Anyway the movie sounds like some feminist empowering nonsense. As long as part of it has some action and we see faraxs going at it I will watch that part
The loud AAs who whine about others playing them on screen are a minority. I'd rather have a good actor who can't speak the language get the role than a subpar xalimo who'd stink up the joint.
Also, this chick is well known and puts butts in seats, what xalimo can do that?
