Isabella/Mrs. Weston: Why Clueless’s Dionne, an African-American woman was cast to play two roles?

Presented by Damianne (Dami) Scott

This presentation will discuss how the casting of the character, Dionne, is perfect as a modernization of Emma’s Isabella Knightly and Anne Weston, but racially stereotypical.
