Lupita Nyong'o is black and plays Helen. The original poster in the meme thinks this would be fixed by casting the above actress who, if you've wver been to Greece, looks way more caucasian/white than your average Greek.
Had to Google her but Helen's main thing is that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, so once again absolutely defendable casting.
I don't know why I would join in in such stupid non-discussions anyhow, as if any maga idiot would be convinced by rational arguments, or as if I should care as a European.
People like you give a shit and mention it all the time lol, even though Jesus is far more likely to have looked white than Helen of Troy is to have looked black.
Lashing out and calling people snowflakes because you got triggered doesn't give you a monopoly on calling out that behaviour my friend.
You’re the one asking to treat white washing with nuance
If you think facts are something that shouldn't be acknowledged then you are way too far gone lmao.
Jesus was a Jewish person, Jewish people still exist today my friend, and some of them look "white" and some don't.
You know who also exist today? Indigenous Greek people, and they're not in any way black like sub-Saharan Africans.
If anyone is treating "white washing with nuance" it's you and your "artistic liberty" garbage. Why is Jesus being white not "artistic liberty" despite the Bible also including gods and fantastical elements?
Lol yeah I bet dudes born 2000 years ago near Bethlehem were pale with long straight light brown hair and blue eyes. Yeah that sounds like a fact for sure.
