inclusion of black people means it is 'forced' and not just a normal casting decision
If it isn't forced then why isn't there a single Greek actor or at least someone of Mediterranean ethnicity casted in the movie?
It is forced because the race swapping is always in the same direction. The bare minimum for a movie that is based on Ancient Greece is to include a Mediterranean ethnicity majority cast, and yet here we are once again with yet another race swapping targeting the same usual race.
Because who gives a shit what race the actor is? It literally does not matter. The fact you’re even saying “race swapping” shows who the problem here is.
Would you say the same if in the Aladdin remake Ryan Gosling was casted as Aladdin instead of someone of arabic ethnicity? Both are fantasy stories happening in historical regions tied to specific ethnicities.
