Dean Cain Plays A Racist On "A Different World"

He is a white privileged jock who is also a racist - and he spray-paints the "N" word on a black guy's car

Why would they cast Dean Cain of all people in that part?

That used to happen A LOT in the 80s and 90s OP.

I remember a friend who had “NIGGER” spray painted on her locker in the early 90s, and this was in Brooklyn! I can only imagine what it was like elsewhere, because NYC was one of the cities with the biggest black population back then.

R7 we are talking about why Dean Cain would be cast in such part that is so far removed from how he is in real life?

They should cast him in the lead of the Kim Jong-un Story.

Dean Cain is white passing but half Asian.

R8 because he is an actor....

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]
