[VirginiaJones1]

I have a little bit of a crush on Edi....lol I know Laurent is gone now, but I'll have to follow him when he does other projects. :-)

@yarrew olive skin tone does not refer to the colour of olives the food, olive describes the skin tone of, for example, the spanish, mediteranean, brazilian, mexican, italian etc. and doesnt actually mean black though it can extend to that colouring

@yarrew Take your head out of your ass and search it yourself . Stop shooting off just because they cast an African American. It's not being racist, it's called being educated. "Olive, beige, or tan skin describes a skin color range of some individuals, who are Caucasian (especially of Mediterranean stock), or Asian. Named for its olive hue, or sun tanned appearance, it usually refers to a natural skin tone. It is sometimes used as a color terminology for race."

@alexxsevenfold

Olive is either black or green. Anyone with fucking eyesight can verify this. Go to Google if you're too stupid to search. Now unless there are green people walking about, there is no way you can imply that olive should mean tan. It doesn't matter what you or anybody else says, olive does not mean tan. Tan means tan. And tan is a state of basically trying to pigment your skin with melanin (basically trying to become blacker). Edi is olive-skinned and suitable for the role.

[yarrew]

You dumb racist people do realize that there are two colors of olive right? Black and green? Now unless I'm mistaken, I don't see green people walking around. What the fuck did you thought olive meant? Where will we find green people to play his role? Stupid people disgust me.
