So they recast Trina. Fine. Minor character, I have no attachment.
But the original actress was Filipina or of some Asian descent. Her recast, who debuted today, is black.
They changed the characters race. This might be a first.

Blair Cramer of One Life To Live went from Asian to white

The Blair change was a funny one.

They never brought up the original Trina’s race so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Why would they bring it up? We saw her. She was a different race.

She could be transracial, like Rachael Dolezal.

This is the original Trina at 48 seconds, telling Lulu she has her quotes, right? Joss never actually calls her by her name so I'm not sure. I don't think Trina is on a date with the kid in the red suit, she seems to just be there as friends

I'm not sure if Trina was ever shown before this

Trina was the trans kid or the tall girl?

Yes, that’s Trina. I didn’t realize it was her until Lulu called her Trina after the earthquake. She wasn’t on a date with Dakota (the transgender kid in the red suit) but she seemed to have a crush on Dakota.
This is Trina’s first scene: https://youtu.be/6RtIk_w8GdQ

First Blair, now Trina -- Asians on these shows keep transforming. Next time we see Brad, he'll be Latino.

They can do that just by saying the Wus were really Filipino.

The tall girl.
I think she's the same girl as in Youcan's clip. It definitely didn't seem like Trina was on a date, she was just a friend of the trans kid and was there to support the 'cause'

Well Doctor Who isn't coming back till 2020...maybe Trina is a Time Lord and she just regenerated so this is what she looks like now? Something to hold us over till Doctor Who returns.
