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.

Lmao noo. There are many greeks that look like that, its not uncommon at all. The problem imo, is the complete lack of any actually greek people in the movie. I mean there are many greek american actors that could have been cast. But this is Hollywood so not surprised lol

And yet there isn't as much controversy over the casting of Matt Damon as Odysseus

Matt Damon should not have been cast as Odysseus or anyone. I'm tired of Matt Damon.
