So this is just based on me playing a twitter leftie who was saying the race swapped Newton was ok because it was for entertainment not historical purposes.
So for this I prosed two possible people (intentional choices) for which it would or would not be appropriate to race swap: Genghis Khan and Shaka Zulu
He said khan played by a white man would be ok, but not Zulu, and claimed it was because Zulus legacy and conflict was racial. This of course was not true but is part of the “evil whites of history” programming.
So then I poised him the question of why Khan, who engaged in ethnic genocide, slavery, and subjugation was acceptable to be portrayed as white, but Zulu who warred with the British could not be? Wouldn’t it be just as racial for an Asian who conquered whites as whites who conquered blacks?
This of course ended in error 404 “it’s not the same” which is the end result I expected, but was still entertained to watch the squirming of the cognitive dissonance when you pluck the worm into plain light.
These arguments don't work on leftists, brother.
To us, swapping one race for another race and comparing separate but similar fact patterns is a fair exercise (and an exercise in fairness). Leftists don't see it like that. Analogous situations involving race swaps for us are not equivalent to leftists, because leftists do not actually believe white = black = brown = Asian = Jew etc. Leftists put blacks ahead of whites, therefore black =/= white, but black > white.
As soon as that kind of perspective is in play, pointing out hypocrisy or double standards or different outcomes in identical-but-race-swapped situations is meaningless.
