Oct 2 2007Hilary Duff Tackles Tough Race Issues Adorably
I already knew Hilary Duff as a humanitarian when she graced us with the character of Lizzie McGuire, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, its various made-for-TV movies, and the accompanying songs to those movies--not to mention her pop albums and public appearances, where that equine grin lights up hearts--but now Hollywood Reporter tells me she's about to become a positive saint. With her newest comic role in Greta, the young actress plays to tackle the hottest topic of 1978, interracial dating!
Duff will play a young waitress who falls for the restaurant's cook from the wrong (black) side of the tracks. Her grandparents, sadly played by Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy, don't approve of the match because they're racists. I know, it sounds really good, right? Wait'll you hear the best part: their racist suspicions are confirmed upon finding out this fellow is indeed the criminal his skin color implied.
I think this thing is going to break down a lot of (barely present) barriers.

She needs to do some proper interracial porn, none of this Hollywood stuff. She may look like a horse but I'd still enjoy seeing her face sprayed by a black 12 incher.

I agree with the horseface comment, but she looks unusually hot in the photo. If it weren't for the title, I would've thought she was some hot European bitch.

Stupid, painfully outdated movie premise. I was hoping you were kidding.

the powers that be want us to reduce our caucasion status anyway. That way there will be no pathetic white people expecting a decent hourly wage and education. We will be as dumb as all the other morons down south.

mix em up: what the fuck? perhaps you are not "as dumb as all the other morons down south" - but you are by far more ignorant.
