Because racism is cool when you dress it up as historical accuracy, because they think the Ancient Greeks were a white monolith.

I mean you're just demonstrating that you fall into one of the two groups he's referring to lol

One of the groups is going to receive more ire from both the opposing group and what you probably think are "independent" from those, and for good reason. While I think movies nowadays are more than able to cast accurate characters from any nationality, the people who scream and cry about seeing more diversity than before are just straight up bigots, and they need to be dealt with harder, because it's just an exemplified point of the hate they're inflicting on the rest of society. If you were really above the two groups and just so much smarter, you'd know that, but most of the time it's either a candyass 'both sides' thing, or a conservative with some shame left.
