Another point is that they only seem to care about having authenticity when you cast white actors. In this case they are completely wrong with the authenticity. They were not complaining about Black Achile or a black northern god or a black Valkyrie, black people in Elsa, black queen of England but if you cast an actor that is a shade whiter then they should be then they suddenly want authenticity.
Of course, it's not actually about historical authenticity. They only care about increasing the number of roles going to non-whites.
