They routinely cast blacks in white roles, but having a Portuguese-American to play a son of Spanish immigrants causes an outrage (twitter.com)

Everyone knows the role should have really gone to Justin Trudeau.

It's very selective what outrages them.

There was this Netflix show filmed in my country, Hungary. There was a character in it. She is basically that universe's version of gypsy. The actress is... not Indian, but some brown whatever. I don't care. She is also a circus artist/thief.

Retarded libs on Twitter tried to cancel the poor stunt double, an actual cricus artist, because she was white.
The fucking retards claimed they should have found a brown stunt double in Hungary, because le racism. Yeah, sure, don't pick the actual best suited lady in a situation where she is risking her safety and possibly her life for your entertainment.

Or the stunt double for resident evil movies who lost her legs and an arm.

You say that as though you think they were paying enough attention to have ever been aware of it in the first place. What makes you think these NPCs notice anything that isn't spoon fed to them?

Anne Boleyn can be black. Marilyn Monroe can be Hispanic. But a white man cannot play a slightly tanner white man.

This is all about oppressing and genociding whites. Nothing more.

They're about to. A new movie called Blonde is coming out, wherein she is played by Ana de Armas. The current Twitter justification is that Marilyn was secretly Hispanic IRL, which she was not.

Reminds me to get to work on my story about a director doing a biopic of Shaka Zulu and casts a Scandinavian woman to play him. Basically the reverse of Vikings

Jackie Chan as the zulu chief. Sean Bean as the zulu chief's wife. Will smith as the warrior that has a secret relationship with the chief's wife. Haha.

BUT WAIT!

Portuguese were oppressioned by Spain between 1580 and 1640.

Does that not make them the blacks of the Iberian peninsula, and therefore entitled to replace Spaniards everywhere?

I, for one, support the Portuguese race-swapping the Spanish.

If only just to piss of Spain.

There is actually a 'scholar' of postcolonial studies who claimed that Western colonialism began with the Spaniards taking back their own country.

Portugese Americans are latinos, so are French Americans and Italian Americans. I know that's not how it's typically used, but if they are going to split hairs between what part of Iberia the actor is from I think I can split some hairs too. I guarantee Franco is genetically closer to Castro than Leguizamo is.

All definitions of Latin America I am aware of include Brazil. Most people in the US wouldn't make a distinction between the Spanish and Portuguese, (I'm sure much to both groups irritation).

Eh generally Brazilians aren't considered Latino. Leguizamo isnt' wrong about that; he just has a dumb point.
