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.

Beauty is subjective honey. And she isn't even attractive to me. But ya know, gotta make sure we check all the DEI boxes!

Even if you're not personally attracted to her you should be able to recognize that she's conventionally attractive and if that's subjective surely the casting doesn't bother you

Race swapping someone for political reasons is not okay, also - sorry she isn't even mildly attractive to me.

It's okay! Nolan doesn't have a spine, I'll just not go see the movie. No big deal.

Why would I spend money on something that I think is stupid?

Hollywood will eventually catch back up with the times, I'm looking forward to the right person getting the job instead of checking a box for diversities sake.
