Derp, nope~?
I have various sims of varying ethnicity and never felt any sort of way of offended with the hair choices, since it's really only to fit a certain role depending on it. Even with more fair related sims the hairs don't seem to fit them, but hey it is acting and you gotta look and fill the role. After awhile (i think through perks?) you can just dress your sim any kind of way for a role you like, which is why it's not that big of a deal since there's no kind of way for the game to know what kind of sim that you're personally playing and going for just based on skintone alone you know?
Think there's two curly related/wavy afro textures in the acting career? I think that fro hawk for females in that apocalypse like one and something else can't quite remember of f the top of my head? Some of the hairstyles are pretty out there and honestly I never see a lot of my sims even wearing it normally even townies outside of acting. :lol: Especially that victorian wig one.
Plus makes sense they'd wanna use the majority of new hairs that came with the GF pack too in the acting career. Because there definitely isn't a lot of choices in terms of base game if you just have that and GF. Thus, I can see why they used the GF hairstyles in the pack for acting for hair and makeup.

This sim here is a townie BG actor and his looks look completely different compared to before (bro had purple hair~). Haha honestly was an improvement to his previous looks.

Whitewashing seems like a REALLY strong word to be using here. Wouldn't really call it that. :sweat_smile:
