Okay, so I don't really have an explanation on how one acts "African." I just hate how Hollywood trivializes ethnicities. By the way Wolverine did sound somewhat like a Canadian, and Prof X isn't French. And actors who fake accents aren't stereotyping if they sound right. If a character is from a certain country then he/she sound like that.

We seem that we strayed from the original topic, which is race-change. My purpose here was that I point out the double standard on mixed-race actors.

As for race change in remake, as in the preceding post's example, I can understand that why some filmmakers do that. I like ethnic pluralism in films, but I'd rather see that in an original film than a remake because it seems otherwise that blacks only achieve something if they rehash what whites did, instead of that they create their own films. However, that someone would hate an entire film simply because of race change is stupid. Ultimately we should judge each film by how it's made and how good it is.
