re: Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors

"Looks aside it's a fricking fictional story. People getting pissy about that is misplaced outrage."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. If it is germane to the story, then it does matter. Example: in the Interview With The Vampire series, Louis de Point De Lac is now black. The original character was a white plantation owner who owned slaves. They conveniently forward the story to begin in the early 1900s to bury this fact.
If it James Bond, I could care less if it's a black or white actor. I know that James Bond as white, but his race is not germane to the story.

In your case, the world would instantly improve. So there’s that.

The people who control the entertainment industry HATE white Christians. They are working day and night to replace us (even as they pretend to BE “white” themselves). Utter filth.

modern entertainment has made it pretty clear that "messaging" is more important than any other qualification or virtue upon which entertainment was traditionally judged.
^ this is why so many movies and shows fail now. People want entertainment, not propaganda and indoctrination.

Progs inject The Message into everything. It has resulted in massive losses and diminished IPs, but they still do it. Over and over and over. The Message is clearly of utmost important to leftist Hollywood—they make no secret about it—yet anytime someone on a message board says “hey, maybe a medieval Viking chieftain ought not be played by a black woman, it’s “ZOMG why do you even care it doesn’t matter and it’s all fiction and faux outrage!!”
Message board chatter is not “outrage” and wokeness IS important to Hollywood and it’s not relegated to only fiction.
The only true “outrage” comes from your people. Y’all start looting and burning anytime one of your precious trash criminals get shot by a cop.

Same with TV commercials, 85% black... But trying to erase history just to check some boxes is DAF

I know its not Hollywood. How great it would have when the Pearl Milling company was attacked for Aunt Jemima, instead of changing the name they should have just made Aunt Jemima white.

Have no issue with race of who is cast, really sex either as long as they are true to the source material or history.

Maybe I wasn't clear, so examples:
Replacing a historical figure with a figure of different sex or race - stupid, shitty, woke sucks
Making a movie off a book where a fictional character is different from the book? No issues, who gives a frick?
But overall, regardless of
Whether i agree or not, frick it I just won't give them my money.

Can you think of a single instance where a white character's race is ever germane to the story?

Yes, because there were so many agents with British intelligence agencies who were black.

I did think it was odd that the character who played Little mermaid doesn’t even know how to swim
