    Non-fairy tale/Disney character, I think.
    Invented character.
    I'm glad to hear it.

    "of course he did - who hasn't on this show"? I'm cackling. Score.

    These are fairy tale. EVERY fairy tale has love (not just love betweem a man and a woman, too between mother/son, brothers, friends....but LOVE is the main them)
    What do they want?

    African Americans have British accents? I thought African Americans had American accents. They must mean Black British.

    Yeah, I'm guessing it's because it's more PC to call someone African American in the U.S. than Black for casting purposes. After all, they may prefer someone who's British if they want a British accent, rather than an American who can do a British accent. So when you think about it, the description is a bit funny.

    Yeah, I had the same thought. It's either that or they didn't want to say "Black Knight" because it could get confusing.

    That casting call reminds me of Black Knight. Terrible movie that was.

    It was a fairly funny movie. :-D


    Anyway, this looks like a PC induced typo. Although the phrase "Black British Knight" does look kinda funny. It's also difficult to say three times fast.

    My first thought was Idris Elba

    I wonder if this relates to our Dark Knight/Black Night that Rumple gained his transformation from? I know "Knight in Shinning Armor" are a continuous themes in fables, but I am trying to think of one that is not also a prince (I was almost apt to think Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty)...and why is a knight being banished also familiar? --Someone from King Arthur? Didn't he banish his nephew?

    That made me laugh as well. My friend who is very black and very British had a to do with an American bloke who insisted on calling her African American no matter how much she protested . She thought he was a bit of a tosser but I guess some people are just daft?

    Not every original fairytale is only about finding true love. There are a number of original European fairytales who have other, deeper messages. And even if every single fairytale ever told was about love - the show promised it would do things differently, tell these fairytales in a new way, with a new perspective. But it's looking more and more like it's only new way for Disney to retell their stories. I'm still waiting for the refreshing new perspective on the original fairytales.

    Fairytales are folklore. NONE of them are about actual love, while sure Disney versions are.

    Fairytales are mainly horror stories for children and rumors that over time achieved mythological status in the "country culture" of medieval times. Just look at original Grimm Brothers versions to know it.



    The main thing that attracts people to OUAT is the balance. The darkness and realism and cruel twists brought into fairytale setting(again). OUAT strikes a perfect balance between "lovey dovey Disney" stuff and more "grimm" versions of realism in the ye olden fairytales. So Some love is okay, EVERYTHING being about love would be a mistake.

    If you are Caucasian, are you from Caucasus? No.

    Its generally unacceptable to "call" someone black as it IS in its entirety a racial slur in style of calling someone "yellow" or "red-skinned" .

    African American is far more politically correct and less offensive term and it is no longer limited to people from USA.

    Terms like "African American", "Caucasian", "Asian", etc are far more respectable and do not indulge into the horrid racist stereotypes that our world STILL has hard time escaping from. Hopefully through the years our society will fully get rid of the stupid notion of calling other people by their "color".

    I'm going to not make a big deal of this but "Black British" is certainly not a slur.
