‘Straight Outta Compton’ Casting Agency Causes Racial Stir

'Straight Outta Compton,' the N.W.A biopic, hasn't even been released yet and it's already causing quite a stir.

According to TMZ, the company responsible for casting the forthcoming film, Sande Allesi Casting, put out an ad seeking talent and the results are offensive and even racist to say the least.

Here's how the ad reads:

SAG OR NON UNION CASTING NOTICE FOR FEMALES-ALL ETHNICITIES- from the late 80's. Shoots on "Straight Outta Compton". Shoot date TBD. We are pulling photos for the director of featured extras.

Clearly, many found it appalling that Sande Alessi Casting would associate low-income women with being dark-skinned and overweight. Also, the company suggest in the ad that being of a darker complexion and being of a larger size is the reason women live below the poverty level.

However, a representative for the company has revealed that the ad was a mistake and it was improperly worded. The agency i actually looking for women of all colors and sizes. Additionally, the rep said using terms like "light-skinned" and "dark-skinned" are common in casting ads, but it's just to secure the right people for the right roles, and nothing else.
