At the beginning of this year, I wrote an article exposing the Huffington Post's double standard and anti-White agenda when it comes to racialised casting in film and television series. The Huffington Post's position reflects that of the mainstream media at large, whereby persons of colour being cast in white roles is to be applauded, whereas Whites being cast in non-White roles is to be denounced. We have yet another high-profile example in the current news, as Indian actor Dev Patel has been cast in the forthcoming cinematic adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield entitled The Personal History of David Copperfield. Patel is best known for his lead role in 2008's Slumdog Millionaire, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA.
