This is all because they want Roscoe Bosco voiced by a black man and not someone who can do stereotypical accents in their voice work but who isn't themselves considered black by the wider community.
So replacing Joey Camen with Ogie Banks because Bosco can only be played by a black man apparently.
I'm all for it as long as we can get an Irish Wolfhound to voice Sam and a rabbit type thing to voice Max.
Oh wait, that's just silly isn't it? Just like this whole premise in the first place!
It's just a very very very thinly disguised attempt at driving out white voice actors and an attempt to snatch up some free work. First, you have to have characters that are 50% black, then you have to have actors that are 50% black, then white productions have to be 50% black but black productions can be 100% black, suddenly it's the NBA part 2 and anyone who dares to peel the ratio back a little is hammered.
