But, with everything, people hate it and people love it. The fans of Rick Riordan's previous very famous and very popular books, are kinda rude. Sending racist tweets to basically PBS. Here's the reason:
Carter Kane, in the books, is African-American, while his sister is white. This is because of their parents. While one is African American, the other is white. The actor chosen to play Carter Kane was not based on looks, but on skill. He didn't quite have the look for Carter Kane, but he had amazing talent. Mario Azabo was picked to be Carter Kane and because of that, people have been sending a lot of hate towards PBS and Mario, himself. We ask you to please kindly respect our choices and watch the series. You will be astonished and amazed at what the work has come to be. It is a true masterpiece. It doesn't matter what your skin color is, it only matters if it gets to the point, which it does. Thank you .
This excerpt was from http://www.cajonvalley.jimdo.com, one of the production companies (along PBS) that produced this mini-series. Here are some snaps from twitter users expressing their feelings. (Click to enlarge)
This tweet was tweeted by cast member, Mario Azabo, who got most of the hate. In this tweet, he is announcing the news that he has been cast as Carter Kane.
Now, let's get on to the best part - the info!
The Kane Chronicles website states:
The Kane Chronicles is originally a best-selling series by best-selling author, Rick Riordan. The Kane Chronicles focuses on Carter and Sadie Kane, two teenagers and siblings, that have to overcome their differences and work to save the world from Egyptian gods who want nothing but chaos.
