if they cast a white woman in a traditionally African role

OH my sweet summer child hold on to your fuckin' pearls.  How soon we forget they blacked out Angelina Jolie to play a Cuban-Afro character.

The fact that they care about the melanin of a leading character and not the inaccuracy of the armor, weapons, ships, etc honestly to me is a total condemnation that it's never actually about accuracy.

Angelina Jolie

And I think you'd agree that's a problem no?

Which is what I said lmao.

You're the one saying it doesn't matter if they're the correct ethnicity.

Also that movie was filmed 20 years ago.

Why is it a problem?

To not be making a false equivalency you need to determine that the reasons why people would have a problem with the situation you're referring also apply to this other situation you're trying to draw an equivalency with.
