      Well if he gets shit-canned by Spotify - he can make an racist anti-apology that's a pro-republican statement saying "I'm proud that I used the n-word. And right I'm going to make a Planet of the Ape statement filled with 37 n-words because that's how much I love the United States of America. God bless this wonderful Christian nation filled with grain and other shit for bros..."

        Man, so....behind the scenes story with the making of Planet of the Apes. They actually caught shit in early production from the NAACP for not hiring black actors and they had to expl that they weren't sure which would come off worse.

          The medium backgro actors were like...pretty much exclus Phillipino as well because they needed a quick and easy way to do the makeup. The designer kinda accidentally figured it out while doing makeup tests that just skin tone and general facial structure it was the safest bet and would minimize sending extras away and needing replacements or doing custom makeup for several hundred people. He was like, super hesitant to bring it up as a solution and did really try to figure a way around it. They knew they were saying with fire regarding the casting, which like, if you see the final movie suing an ape in it really isn't an insult per se but you wouldn't know that before it was filmed.
