Why do they find the ugliest looking minorities to shove into these roles?

IM SO SICK OF THIS SHIT AAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH FUCK NIGGERS FUCK NIGGERS FUCK NIGGERS FUCK NIGGERS FUCK NIGGERS

I hope they make a movie with a white guy as Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King Jr.

>MAKE IT STOP

I'm not a racist so I'm totally fine with minorities and BM/WF pairings in modern movies, but this kind of pandering will never make sense to me.

NIGGERS INTERLINKED

> bbbut whitewashing is fine
> so blackwashing should be fine too

Grape drank wasn’t even invented back then

>tfw no thicc margaret of Anjou

I don't even know what annoys me the most, the fact that she's black, or the fact that she's going on the fucking battlefields.
If at least they were throwing away historical accuracy in a way that would be fun, then it would be bearable if not, well, fun.

no, the point is that it's considered "whitewashing" if a white person plays a non-white character, whereas it's considered "color-conscious casting" if a non-white person plays a white character

look it up, it's a pretty firm liberal double standard

shes a great actress, but whatever

So I assume Sup Forums is just as upset over John Wayne as Genghis Khan

WE

The character is still Asian despite the actor being white
They didn't just pretend Genghis Khan was white.

yeah Sup Forums was real elated about that in 1956

no because that happened decades ago

I'm not sure if the chick really looked like a porcelain baby IRL lads

Because whiteness isn't necessary for a character..

who was historically white..

Guys I think I figured it out, BBC are trying to corner a very lucrative albeit nearly non-existent niche interest group. Right? That's the only explanation.

Ah. So it should be okay to cast anyone to play anyone. I agree.

There were no good Mongoloid actors back then.

>This poor casting choice justifies another

most of the crew died of radiation poisoning so i think that balances the karma

they're not pretending margaret of anjou is african either, just having a black lady play her.

*puts on thinking cap*

>it was okay when we turned Ben-Hur, Moses etc. into a blue eyed blond aryan but don't you dare do the same to us!
Why are white people such hypocrites?

Well actually their audience is supposed to be both groups, not the overlap. Doctor Who gets the mix right, but even that is full of things any single viewer will hate.

Aren't Brits more or less forced to pay for a "TV license", so BBC doesn't care if people like it?

we wuz hitler n shieet

These old timey artists... I guess they liked their instagram filters... or ""artistic liberty"" as they used to call it back in the day.

WE

If you're casting a historical film you should try to make the characters look like the people did. At least here the skin and hair is about right.

Oh right I forgot how absurd British TV is, where the state monopolizes everything and they can just air whatever they want regardless of market forces.

is he wearing mongolface

hmmmm

At least they tried to make him look Asian. They didn't just stick some random niggress in.

Why?

>Oh right I forgot how absurd British TV is, where the state monopolizes everything and they can just air whatever they want regardless of market forces.
This.

It's fucking insane.
Socialism is retarded.

where in this thread did white people say that was okay

Ben-Hur and Moses could have plausibly been, and likely were, blue-eyed caucasoids

Same reason you make the actors wear the clothes they did, and fight as steppe nomads did instead of having them pull out revolvers.

Does this even matter? Like is it saying 'THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE HERE' or are there just black people in these little cartoons about history that have nothing to do with race

hahahah

>here let's learn about these civilisations
>but not things like who made up these civilisations, that's irrelevant
okay, from where I'm standing not being knowingly historically inaccurate is good when teaching about history
