Maybe I'm missing something, but as far as I can tell, RT is devoid of Black workers.

That being said, I feel like colored characters should be voiced by colored people. I mean, how would you feel if the first major "PoC" came onto the show with a cleraly white accent/voice type? People would go ''insane. ''

Also (and I know it's been said before, but still), Turquoise. Just saying. I agree. As far as I can tell, the reason that some people of certain color have certain kinds of voices is because of the anatomy of their skull. Apparently, you can take a human skull and figure out what race the person was in life because different races have slightly differently-shaped skulls. One thing that contributes to your voice is your nasal cavity, which, of course, lies in your skull. So it makes sense that certain skull structures are capable of producing voices that other skull structures cannot. We become familiar with some of these voice types being attributed to specific races.
