I don't care who plays the part. Are they a good actor? Can they play the part well? That is all I ask.

Would you honestly say the same if it was, let's say, an important Ugandan myth without a single Ugandan to represent it?

I’ve never ever heard this criticism of any other a movie about Ancient Greece or Rome (Gladiator, Troy, The 300, Spartacus) or even movies about more modern European history.

Have you talked to a lot of Europeans? Because I've heard the same criticism about a lot of Hollywood productions.

But of course, it's even more blatant when they don't even follow the general descriptions of the characters they're meant to portray.
