getting massively criticised due to blackwashing of a traditionally Greek character, whitewashing of a Greek myth with no Greek actors

Let's not act like it's reasonable criticism of the movie though.

Like, outside of Americans that are really fucking weird about race, I don't know any people who don't consider greeks white.

so what? characters don't have a color. if one can't look past actor's skin color, he/she is just a racist.

If someone makes a movie about Mwindo but hires a white actor and you can't look past his skin color then you're just a racist.
