you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the controversy here, while invoking a controversy that should have made it obvious. “race swap” wasn’t even a conversation in the 90s. then race-obsessed leftoids made it a one-way issue in the 20-teens via movies like ghost in the shell, and took over hollywood. that leftist race obsession hasn’t ended. white people are still policed out of film and television constantly, often in the name of historical accuracy. the reaction you’re witnessing here isn’t about the race of an actress. it’s about hypocrisy. one class of roles is meant for people of the proper skin color, while another (white historical figures or former white characters, and yes, obviously this includes european myth lmao) is meant for everyone. the dynamic is clearly racist. I think the shonda rhimes colorblind model is best, but reactions like this will continue until our cultural institutions actually listen and disband with the anti-white dogma.
