I should have also said WHO is a Negro? Geoffrey Holder is from Trinidad.

Hey back off Rumpelstiltskin pussycat with glasses! I am almost a negro!

But Norrin, aren't you a negro even if you are from Trinidad? He is not from India....

Negro: A member of a dark-skinned group of peoples originally native to Africa south of the Sahara.

Geoffrey Holder is acting in a role. Why was he cast? Because someone thought he could play the part? If Geoffrey Holder had been born in India (having Negro parents ) would he be better suited to play the part than being born in Trinidad?

My condolences! I'll pray for you.

I think that an Indian, born in Trinidad would have been better suited for the role :o)

Interesting use of word-play. Why would he need to be born in Trinidad to make him better suited for the role? Wouldn't the person need to be a competent actor? Did Holder's skin color invalidate him as an actor able to perform the part to the expectation of the casting director in your observation?
