Before the race grifter movement got so large that it became the cultural behemoth that it is now, I would have supported getting rid of the white guy, because he would be out of place. It follows the same principle of casting black actors for historically white roles.

But now, we all know that it's only one-sided and nothing more than anti-white bigotry. This is just another example of the rampant racism against white people that is openly celebrated by the MSM.

No white guy is ever "out of place" in a nation founded and built by white guys

If being "out of place" is your criteria then there shouldn't be an ASL interpreter standing around at all.

ASL is an abomination that should be disposed of in public places and official functions. The fact that a plurality of deaf people are functionally illiterate is a strike against it, not a mark in its favor.

Let him do it with in cacky clothes and pithhelmet if people are worried about accuracy. For fuck's sake, it's animals, not people! Even before this racist shit, replacing him was fucking stupid, he was a teleprompter, not part of the cast.

I actually agree. Keep Europe white, keep Africa African, keep Asia Asian, and so forth. If this were a play of Mulan I'd want everyone to be Chinese. If it were Frozen I'd want everyone to be Scandinavian. Cultures and ethnicities must be preserved, lest humanity devolve into a generic brown ooze whose only culture is Marvel and Tik Tok.

However, I will say that the ideal situation here would be for everyone to be African, not "black". Hiring a bunch of black people from Baltimore to play African characters is borderline minstrelsy. Either go authentic or don't. Skin color does not equal authenticity.

It is interesting since africa is like 1/4 light brown on the north side like libya, tunisia or morroco.

But they probably dont identify as african and also progressives dont classify them as africans either. Otherwise, wed have to pay them reparations too for slavery lol.

Disagree.

One thing to keep societies homogenous. Completely another thing to suggest that a culture can't enjoy, or learn from, or perform the art of another culture.

And then what, we have to import blacks to put up a Nigerian play?

China has to import whites to put up Shakespeare?

It should be 100% acceptable to perform a play and hire the best local people for the job, with no consideration of their race.

That's fine when taken in good faith, but "race blind casting" is exclusively an avenue for replacing white people in practice. Entertainment will always be full of subversives and their useful idiots, so the fewer excuses you give them to destroy white culture, the better.

You see black Anne Boleyn, black Vikings, and black medieval British people, but you never the opposite. This is not a coincidence.

Personally if I as much as suspect that the woke have had any influence then I avoid it, for instance any black female actor is a good indicator since I still haven't seen one who actually can act and isn't there just to pad a stat, or any race swapping, or feminist propaganda.

If just a few more people started doing that, then the producers would at least lose money from their propaganda.

But this seems to be a bridge too far.

People can't even stop doing that. And we complain we're losing the culture war. Yeah, because we're too pathetic to even stop watching their propaganda, nevermind shaping culture.

As long as people are paying for the messaging, there will never be any alternative.
