Charlie's Angels' Substitute Black Girl

Okay so recently I was watching Charlie's Angels and one of my friends was commenting on how there was no black girl in the 2000 version of the movie (the one with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Lui and Drew Barrymore) So i had to disagree, in these situations where movie writers don't cast a black girl for these roles I think a substitute is in order... and in this case, that substitute became Drew Berrymore. Yep i said it. And this is why...

The Hair



The curly unruly tendrils Drew rocked were the equivalent to the natural looked that would be expected from the token black girl of the movie. 

The Swag
The sista in the movie always provides comic relief or some sort of attitude that shows a well rounded dynamic. Drew's Zany, energetic character became the equivalent to the black chick's "Oh no you Dit enn"




The Outfits
   
The chosen black girl is always dressed conservatively for two reasons: because she can't outshine the main character and because she has more curves than the other girls and would be portrayed as slutty if she wore the same tight, revealing outfits. If you see, in these pictures Drew is way more covered up than the other two and in the third picture, she's wearing purple!Black women are ALWAYS either covered up or dressed in purple in movies...

See!
