Shouldn't Will Smith have known this in the first place?

I’m white. And my perspective on race has been pretty simple, maybe naive, for most of my life: are you mission capable or not.
My girlfriend is non white. But she doesn’t talk about race, plus she is mission capable.

So, I won’t begin to pretend that I understand any of this.

But Will Smith is black. So, wouldn’t/shouldn’t he have known it was a problem, and refused the role?
