Oh I see there’s been some wank over casting Matt Bomer as Blaine’s brother because it implies white washing Blaine. Is it weird that it never occurred to me that this would somehow preclude Blaine being mixed race? I mean I still think Lea Salonga should be his mother (and I will rage if they cast anyone else). I mean I guess Matt Bomer could be a very white-passing half-Asian. If you squint. Or on the more thinky side Matt Bomer is in his 30s so they could easily say he and Blaine are half-brothers from his father’s first marriage or something.
All of which is to say I am excited by the casting of Matt Bomer, but yes it would definitely bother me if they used it as a reason to white wash Blaine’s entire family. Not the least of which because Lea Motherfucking Salonga is chomping at the bit to play Blaine’s mom. However until they actually cast Blaine’s parents or make it clear they’re white I will hold out hope that this won’t happen. If it does, then I will definitely get my rage on.
