Nothing Royal About ‘Prince of Persia’

Welp, with Prince of Persia, you’ve done it again, Hollywood! You’ve toyed with history in order to cast a very white person in a heroic role probably more suited for a person of color, just so that other white people will be comfortable spending their money to see it.

The term "person of color" is just plain stupid. I hate to break it to ya, but WHITE is a color, you know… it is in the Crayola box and everything. As a matter of fact, white people are probably more representative of this silly term "person of color" because if you choke a white person they tune blue, if they are nauseated they are green, and too much sun turns them red. It is just a way for non-whites to be discriminating, exclusive, and insulting. It needs to stop, we are all human. In the words of Gandhi, "Do you want change, or do you want revenge?"

Regarding the Prince of Persia, Persia was made up of people of many skin tones, so yes, the Prince may have been dark-skinned, but on the other hand, maybe not.

DoeAdeer is right. There are a good number of "fair" skinned Iranians, so bitching about Jake is just moronic.
