What is so wrong in correctly identifying an actor, an artist, a person's ethnicity? While it might reek of racial undertones in the United States, where one is caught up in the white-black divide, in the larger world, it simply is a statement of fact. Both Merle Oberon and Vivien Leigh suffered great injustice in their heydays, not being able to embrace their ethnic identities. They should not still be persecuted as such in this modern day and age, especially by those still clinging on to ancient ideas and beliefs of racial primacies. Consequently, these people of the old persuasion must abandon their notions and adjust with the modern times.


 * It's not a question of persecution. The best advice I could give you is to read through MOS:BIO which is a guideline that explains the standard approach to all biographical articles.  Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of articles about a whole range of people of various ethnicities, and it's not necessary or desirable to make a special case for these two actresses.   I noted in the edit summaries for the reversions I made to both of these articles, that it did not comply with our Manual of Style.   You're relatively new here, and you are completely welcome, but maybe you should read through some articles, especially from our featured article list, as these are the result of a lot of collaborative effort and should represent what is considered to be highest standard articles.  It would also be good if you made yourself familiar with some guidelines and policies and the message below contains links to some pages that may that you may find interesting and that help you.  I hope you enjoy editing here.  Rossrs (talk) 11:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
