Sande Allesi Casting is facing accusations of racism after posting a rather questionable casting call for the upcoming NWA biopic movie.
The ad is recruiting female extras for the NWA movie, Straight Outta Compton, and features some rather dodgy phrasing that has led to it being shared all over the internet this morning. Have a look at the full piece below, posted via. Gawker.
