A Mighty Heart, race swap Options

[tooeffingcrazy]

If you guys didn't know, A Mighty Heart, based on the popular novel, is coming onto the big screens. :)

Plot: Mariane Pearl (Jolie) embarks on a frantic search to locate her journalist husband, Daniel, when he goes missing in Pakistan.

Now, Mariane is Cuban/African. Basically, she's black or Cuban-African, not really sure. Well, there has been much quarrel about the casting. If you havn't heart, Angelina Jolie, a white female is playing a role as a Cuban-African.

This is a true story about Mariane.
Basically, it's like having Adrienne Brody play Ray instead of Jamie Foxx.
What are your inputs? Do you think this is a right decision? Just wondering if you guys thought this might be okay. Me, a huge Angelina fan would always support her.

Are there any other movies with race changes?
