It is kinda funny that there's no Greek actors in a movie about the Trojan war because Greek actors are too white-coded to be considered diversity.

Me when southern europeans look southern european, wich still seem to be too white for Hollywood (Considere the US didnt classified germans, irish and scotish people as white for decades, wich says alot about how trustable their "classification system" is):

American, here. Agreed, but here we are. Apparently people with European ancestry are either white or not white based upon how well it suits our political climate. Also, Nolan is trying to stay within the Academy Awards rules instead of casting ethnically accurate characters for a historically Greek story, hence the blow-up about Nyong'o, Zendaya, etc.

Is that what you really think happened? They didn't want anyone white-coded so they hired Matt Damon instead?

No, they hired diversity to offset Matt Damon.

Didn't you know? Neither Matt Damon, nor Anne Hathaway, nor Tom Holland are white.
