Why are stormweenies always ready to go up in amrs about historical accuracy when the race of a character's changed from white to black, but they all go silent when traditional Romans are given Aryan actors?

Because I wouldn't complain if China did a Roman movie with Chinese actors. Nor would the Chinese in that case be morally obligated to include white people in that production

Julius and Augustus were Aryans though

Ancient Romans were whiter than modern Italians though

I didn't even realize the Rome show is based on real events until Cesar got killed. I thought it was all made up like Spartacus.
Then I wiki'd it and Cesar got killed in Rome (same name as the show). Some of the characters from the show also existed irl but nobody can know for sure since a lot of time passed.

The roman empire had aryans and was destroyed by them. Therefore aryans inherited the glory of rome by divine rights

Yeah, I agree that its a stupid thing to get mad about, but I can see how someone concerned with historical accuracy might want Caesar to be portrayed by an actual Italian, or William Wallace by an actual Scot.
Just as a hypothetical, I could see Scottish people getting miffed if Wallace were played by an Englishman, when he fought to gain independence from them.

>casting white actors to play white characters
That's indeed a terrible case of whitewashing.
We should use CGI to alter at least 50% of the cast to African Americans.

Not true
Modern Italians and ancient romans are genetically identically
Sorry if this destroys your germanic revisionist agenda :^)
