In Greek mythology Cassiopeia, "the vain and beautiful queen of Aethiopia" is black. Her daughter, Andromeda, beautiful enough to challenge the beauty of the nymphs, is also black.
Lupita Nyong'o is a model and conventionally attractive.
Thats already been a thing! White people don’t make a fuss over that. It’s only when they see a non-white person getting portrayed in a role they think a white person is entitled to that it’s an issue. How quickly the moaning about accuracy stops when white people are being casted inaccurately. Nowhere near the same amount of backlash.
Because its not about accuracy. It’s about keeping things white. It’s extremely obvious. No one with a brain is going to take this whining about historical accuracy seriously when we’ve seen what you handwave away and selectively apply it to non-whites.
Maybe to some people, but I think most people want consistency and don’t like race swaps in general. Also, did you just miss the years of outrage over white people being miscast as other ethnicities?
No, we are tired of DEI. Not sure why Hollywood hasn't gotten the memo - you make politics more important than the movie, I'll just not go see the movie. Simple as.
