The criticism of a forthcoming movie starring Shia LeBeouf, where the actor wears 'brownface' has prompted its director to defend his decision.LeBoeuf plays a crime boss in Los Angeles who collects taxes from other gangs. That doesn't sound too problematic until you learn that LeBeouf is playing a Hispanic gangster in the movie and appears to be wearing 'brownface' to hide the fact that he is White. LeBeouf is reportedly the only white actor in the main cast of the movie.
