So Downey's character in the movie is a white actor who is playing a black character? How is that any different than the Wayans Bros. "White Chicks"? This is an absolute non-issue.

Casting a black actor for the role would have made absolutely no sense. The role was for a white actor to play a white actor who's playing a black character sorta deal. I guess you could have cast a black actor and had him playing a white guy who is playing a black guy, but that would take a helluva lot of acting chops to pull off and has been mentioned Denzel is not signing on for this movie.
