How can a white person speaking in a Jamaican accent be considered racist?

If this was the case, then maybe Trevor Macdonald and Chris Eubank could also be similarly accused?
prev Semantics Or Valid Observation?

The actor is speaking in a accent , not a colour.

Most people rightly or wrongly, associate Jamaicans as laid back happy people.

A Welsh, Aussie, Algerian or Hungarian accent would not work.

Do you agree with my point about the Mail's use of unverified sources (ie. Twitter), and acknowledge that young black kids do not speak with the same accents as their parents?
