Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors

It’s widely known that they are actively trying to get more diverse and replace characters that were originally white with black, little mermaid for example.
Ok. That’s fine. Argument could be made that white was the only color used for characters back in the day. Whatever.
But now they are taking white characters in true stories, and replacing them with black actors lol. They have no shame.

Actor portraying him lol

It that it was a European Fairy Tale
They didn't make Pocahontas or Aladdin white
Meet Romeo and Juliet for 2024
Although, in Shakespeare's time, women were played by men.
And don't even get me started on gingers

Little Mermaid was when I drew the line.

Have no issue with race of who is cast, really sex either as long as they are true to the source material or history.
Think of it like a school play, all hollywood really is about is playing make believe...let em have it.
What is frustrating is when they lazily remake a film and "rework" for a woke agenda
Also what is really sad, is it's a one way street...GOD forbid if a straight white actor was cast in place of a minority or gay.

James Bond series standing strong…

It's called "blackwashing" and it's part of the current entertainment writing philosophy of "pale and male is stale". It's even to the point where many white, male writers have trouble getting jobs just for being white and male.

I watched a British movie based off a true story from the 1920s called Wicked Little Letters. They made the main judge black and also the husband of the main character black. Neither were true and it’s so unbelievable that it sort of ruins the characters with how out of place it feels.
I know many movies do this to be eligible for awards now, but there should at least be exemptions for true stories to stay accurate and still eligible for awards. Otherwise it feels wrong.
Also, it’s kind of sad that there will always be someone willing to take on these roles knowing they are not accurate and only in it to meet some diversity quota. It is also insulting towards the real life characters from the story to not be accurately represented. I don’t know.
I agree that I don’t care if it’s a new fiction movie full of as much diversity as possible, but it is wrong that historically accurate movies can’t qualify for awards.

It's all about destroying white history.

Good for them. I simply will not watch.

Chernobyl, instead of a whole team investigating it was just one lady character.

I don't even know why any white guy would try to go into acting in today's world. The pre-established stars are juiced in but newcomers have to pay their dues on the stage, in commercials and taking bit parts and modern entertainment has made it pretty clear that "messaging" is more important than any other qualification or virtue upon which entertainment was traditionally judged.

Who's Lawrence Beaumont?

Entertainment.
Don’t watch it. Read a book instead.

I mostly don’t care about fictional characters.
Usually only when it’s nonsensical or there’s a clear description in the books (Ariel for instance) and they go way off base does it get an eyeroll from me.
A lot of the shows just cast minorities in historical fiction (Bridgerton) and ignore race all together and that’s mostly fine.
Dumb things for me are Anne Boleyn or Vikings being black.

Not in crime stories though.

All part of the Hollywood agenda and it includes women and homosexuals.
I just don't watch.
