What’s next, Cat Woman giving a black woman the role of Helen of Troy in an Elizabethan tragedy?

Isn’t that just a miscast and not a catastrophe?

To state the obvious, it’s not a worker doing that. It’s Universal Studios.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but there were black people in ancient Greece IRL.

Those who make a fuss about about skin tone will never be happy. The binary world they imagine is not the real one.

I feel like I hear this argument about casting from every side. If it’s done one way it’s woke and another way it’s white washing. Like 95% of the time I couldn’t care less. 5% of the time the casting is extremely distracting from the story which is what I care about. Like hypothetically if someone cast Hitler as an African, Indian, or Chinese person in an otherwise period correct film it would be super distracting. Similarly if someone cast like a white dude as Bruce Lee’s character in like a remake of Enter the Dragon and like Kareem Abdul-Jabbars characters like with Peter Dinklage I would have a really tough time paying attention to the film like the original.
