[edit] Race or color?

In general, race or color cannot be a BFOQ.

I marked this with {{fact}} because it doesn't appear to fit in with the rest of the paragraph, which lists valid BFOQs. Is it the case that race or color can be a BFOQ in a situation such as an actor portraying a character of African descent, as in the case with the clothing manufacturer? Or is it the case that race or color cannot be a BFOQ, possibly on grounds that makeup can make a white man appear black enough for a black role? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 13:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
