30 yy/o White Actor, Travis Turner, who goes by Little T voices a BLACK character on Netflix's animated show "Spy Kids" and says it's all good because he lived in "motels" and has songs coming out with a well known artist!!

He goes by "Little T" who grew up in the HARD STREETS of TORONTO CANADA and said that he isn't worried about the blackc ommunity backlash for playing a black character named Psi cause he grew up in a urban community..

He said "If they want they can say whatever, i have thought about that. But also i have a track with Dub C right now. I have a track with Snoop coming out. I actually come from like an urban background. I've lived in motels to where i am now, i relate to the urban community. I feel like i have a resume to qualify me for the job to voice a black character. I know what it's like to grow up a hard life"

He has a minor acting credits spanning back to 2008 and done voice work who says his humble beginnings are similar to the experience of black people and sponsored black kids and Day One.

Travis said "I think that right now, honestly, social media is dividing us, it is dividing us. I grew up on Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, people making fun of race. It's a comedy. Now these people can't even do college tours because it's such an issue"

Travis fails to mention however that most jokes made by black comedians regarding race were still critical of the racism and racial prejudice in America

But Travis wants it all about love and supporting each other when purusing work as he continues to use EBONICS to voice the character

He says "It's very is it culturally appropriate? and i get that but honestly if there was someone more suited for the role then yeah".

He grew up in Oliver, Canada with a population of 4824 as its unknown how many black people live in the small agricultural town..but he did spend time in Toronto, Canada which has a more urban community.

Netflix could not be reached for comment to Dailymail requests

Do you think because Travis grew up in a "urban" community, that qualifies him for the role to voice a black character? let's see what people think
