  1. While the casting of primarily caucasian actors in older films about the ancient world happened. To my knowledge nobody ever tried to actively convey the message that all Egyptians looked like British or Hollywood film actors from the 40s, 50s or 60s. Besides they had to work with what they had available.

  2. The next version of Shogun will feature a Black actor who is trans playing the Blackthorn role. You get bonus points for ticking off two diversity boxes. In reality if this were a stage production of Romeo and Juliet l could care less. Because then it all about the delivery of the lines of dialog. No doubt this new production of Romeo and Juliet will have the script "updated" to make it more relevant.

  3. I want to know when non whites will start getting cast in roles as Nazis in productions about WWll.
