Don’t forget that Hollywood can’t make a historical drama based in Europe, without a bunch of blacks in leading roles.

I remember watching some King Arthur movie and they had a black guy as Lancelot haha

I stopped watching The Witcher after they botched the casting. Two British/Indians playing a redhead (Or chestnut) and a pale goth type chick...

Also ever notice every goddamn commercial has an interracial family? I don’t care one way or another but once I noticed it I can’t help feel like it’s tokenism and they are checking blocks.

Dr. Who director Steven Moffat, on race bent casting in historical stories:

“And we’ve kind of got to tell a lie. We’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that. We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth.’"

‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth.’

I've lost all respect for these idiots. I bet their type were also the ones responsible for the fall of Rome. We could have had something great if it weren't for these weak morons.
