I think any actor can play anything as long as they are good at it, doesn't matter what race, gender, religion or sexual orientation they are playing. Saying otherwise is insanity.

Nah

Voice actors aren't limited by their physical features. It should be based purely on talent. H. Jon Benjamin is a doughy 5'6 middle-aged man, but he kills it as ripped, 6'2 Archer. Darin Depaul looks like your friendly great-uncle, but he seems to specialize in massive, powerful voices:

I think so. It is okay for a minority to provide the voice for someone white, but the opposite is not acceptable.

The choice of voice actors in a cartoon shouldn't be a political thing.

I hate how everything seems to be political these days.

Yes, black actors shouldn't have their jobs taken away.

But also, black actors and any other race should be able to voice white characters. White people should only be allowed to voice white characters though.

Voice acting is fucking beautiful because just about anyone can voice anyone if they're up to it

That's why Torbjorn is voiced a black man, Cleveland is voiced by a white man, and Goku is voiced by a woman in her 80s.

Toriyama said she was exactly how he envisioned Goku to sound

Either way the range is what I was getting at

He doesn't count because he has one of the best voices in the world. He can play anyone he wants.

They should use whoever's voice is most suitable for the character. Hell, an 80 year old black guy might be the best voice for a 6 year old asian girl for all I know.

It's only racist in that non-offensive way just about anything involving race is.

It's like talking about how different races often have different hair types. It's not really racist in the offensive way.
