Actress floriana Lima has been the subject of a racial issue. Her fans are deliberately removing the fact that she is an Italian American actress and creating articles for sources to trick IMDb into approving this. They're also eliminating all traces of her relationship with Casey Affleck due to personal objections. Let's not allow such petty drama to take over the site.

Is this allowed?

Hi Nan,

Thanks. I can see that the relationship with Casey Affleck is listed on her page and her mini bio lists her ancestry.

Yes, it looks to reflect that now. For some reason it used to say she was an"Italian American actress" because thats what she has considered herself in the past and spoke of in interviews but they erased that to say Italian ancestry instead because they don't like that. Not sure why but they're hell bent on minimizing the culture she relates to and dating Casey Affleck. Factual information they deleted states " Floriana Lima is an American actress with Italian, English, Irish and German roots" and I'm not sure why that would be removed.

People are changing it again to say she's of different ancestries or not of certain ones and using unreliable sources (some seem fan connected). Maybe IMDb needs to use real background check sites to verify her information or get something from her agent to correct and prevent changes? I am not going to try again because I see no point in doing that over and over just letting you know.

Hi Nan,

I can see that there are many sources debating this so for now I've accepted an amendment to remove it from her bio until we know that it is correct.
