A woman named Ivie Okechukwu-Ani actually went to the casting and tweeted about her experience.
So the casein was supposed to be from 11am-5pm but they shit everything down by 4ish and people bum rushed the entrance. Cops were called

People were climbing gates and pushing to get through the building door.

I spoke to a lot of people in line at the Yeezy casting and a good portion were generally confused by the word “multiracial.”

There was no way of telling unless you asked. I saw some brown& darkskinned people but a lot of lightskinned people. https://t.co/0xBxZzdZiQ

Some people viewed “multiracial” as coded language for mixed/litskinned because it’s often used in that sense. https://t.co/xJYU7bajIX

They weren’t rejecting or accepting on the spot, so won’t know the demographic of ppl they chose until the show https://t.co/T3no6j1Ktl

Anywho, were you offended by Kanye’s casting call — why or why not?

It’s highly offensive. Somebody had to sleep with his black ass mama to make his ugly black ass! Just another black man that suffers from self-hate and black women are just the collateral damage! Didn’t his old ass mama die on the plastic surgery table?? She hated herself too!
Very offended!!! Our black men have actually forgotten where they came from. Stop degrading us because we are you!!!!
Yes I was offended. I notice ALOT of people are doing this, famous and not so much famous. Even Future’s sons mother, Britney had a casting call and wanted only mixed children.
These people are something else…
Yeah. I’m offended. Of course people may have their preferences, but when it’s excluding people of their same race, it’s just sad. Technically, he can say it also excludes whites and anyone else of only one race, but to me I’m worried about the fact it’s excluding purely black women.
Did y’all see is models though? Beautiful BLACK women…of ALL shades
