In recent years, Hollywood and prominent streaming services have recast roles that were originally or historically white characters.

  • Disney's live-action adaptation of the 1989 animated film "The Little Mermaid" cast a black Ariel.
  • Netflix’s four-part documentary "Queen Cleopatra" cast a black actress to play the royal of Macedonian Greece heritage.
  • Samuel L. Jackson played the role of Col. Nick Fury – who is actually a middle-aged white guy in Marvel comics.
  • In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Idris Elba portrayed Heimdall – who is based on a Norse deity.
  • A black actress played the Moneypenny character in the James Bond film "Skyfall."
  • Black actor Jeffrey Wright was cast as Lieutenant James Gordon in "The Batman."
The decision to recast characters of different races or genders could be motivated by Hollywood's attempt to be more diverse.




In 2020, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that starting in 2024, in order for a film to be nominated for the Best Picture category, the movie must meet a number of "inclusion" requirements in order to be considered.

Hilarious!
 
Does it actually matter what race plays a fictional character?
At times, yes.

Uncle Remus wasn't white. :rolleyes-41:

Odysseus wasn't black

Pocohontas wasn't Chinese, okay Pocohontas was a bad choice.

I don't feel like muckin' around with all this racial shit right now. :scared1:

You do understand that South Park skewers EVERYONE right? They have since Day 1.
You should watch their episodes in the lead up to the 2016 election. Hysterical and scary accurate. :auiqs.jpg:
 
"South Park: Joining The Panderverse"

Lol!!
Yep today, black women MUST be the star of nearly every single TV commercial. It's become a standing joke at this point.
The percentage of black people on the entire west coast is less that 10% of the population, but you would think it was 70% based on TV commercials.

Cleopatra isn't fictional. There are sculptures and coins with her likeness and contemporaneous descriptions of her having light skin, and her ancestry is well documented.

She wasn't black.

More like 90%.

Almost every stupid commercial is Black now.

Those people that make the commercials and movies are sick in the head.

I wonder if the advertisers know that people tune out the product when it is woke?

Good thing South Park is going to ridicule that stupid wokeness.

Depends upon the construction of the character and the way the part is played.
An assimilated character, where race isn’t an issue, should be played by virtually anyone.
An assimilate character, where race isn’t an issue, should not be played by a black person who improvs things like “Y’all muh fuckas ain’t messing’ wid dis nigga no mo’!” just to satisfy diversity initiatives.

Does it actually matter what race replaces an already existing fictional character?

.

I would be quite upset to see the part of a mermaid being played by a non fish.

Or the part of a hobbit being played by an orc.
Nope. But real people should be portrayed by who, and what, they actually were.

Was Lon Chaney really a hunchback? Was Darryl Hannah really a fish? Was Bela Lugosi really a vampire?
 
Does it actually matter what race plays a fictional character?

If it's an original fictional character? Not so much.

If it's a fictional character that is recast as a new race? Yes.

But that isn't the point here at all and you know that. It's making fictional characters non whites specifically to be diverse and to meet social agenda and esg nonsense.

I'd rather see only white characters if it meant we stayed away from social agenda bullshit.

They do that to be more realistic. Like in the new Equalizer, Robert McCall, a middle-aged white British ex-covert ops guy is now Queen Latifa as Robyn McCall, a decorated ex-CIA operative.

And she works with her friend, an ex-covert ops ace sniper (the badass Asian chick in the back)

And you can't have a realistic special ops movie without a couple of hot skinny model types as the leads
