A) in a vacuum I could care less if they make a fictional character another race.
B) there is very real criticism to be had at recasting real people like Anne Boleyn.
C) There has been plenty of white washing in Hollywood.
these are all sane facts. The problem is this in a vacuum is fine but it’s part of a greater overall push. Is this and the little mermaid a huge deal? No. But when they are start piling up people just tune the fuck out. I have much more anger about the way the BBC is blackwashing history. Actual history.
So in the end this is really the least of the problem. Dev is a great actor. It will Probably be fine. This alone shouldn’t anger anyone.
but to be annoyed by a massive trend - I get it and you’ll shouldn’t ignore it

Men played womens roles because women were not allowed to act
The only way this example would make sense is if whites were prohibited from acting and directors had to sub them with Pajeets.
Are whites prohibited from acting?

I suggest you cucks go look at the current percentage of whites in America, then compare their percentage of representation in TV and movies in 2001 through today.
everyone wants proper representation. And by that I don’t mean of the real world. But one in which every group is over represented 3 fold.
and in the end of the product is good I really don’t care. I just want these losers to be honest about it.

The best thing i can find in about 4 minutes of googling is this article
Diversity improves among TV actors, but executives still overwhelmingly white and male
The UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report: Part Two suggests the industry must do more to meet the moment.
Which says its basically pretty close to a correct proportion now, with about 35% of actors in shows being non-white, while america holds at 40% of people are non-white
Leading actors are up to 25% non-white, up from 5% a decade before.
And blacks are over represented in that, being 18% of roles, vs 13% of the population. Basically asians and latinos are still behind, but minorities as a whole are pretty fairly dispersed, but still behind in leading rolls.
Then a bunch of stuff about executives, which I do not care about, at all.

Whitewashing in film - Wikipedia
Now link the Wiki showing white characters being swapped.
When you can't find it. THEN you'll understand the problem. Have enough respect to hold people to their own rules. There is an entire, billion dollar a year lobbying industry to prevent "white washing"; people wanting that kind of rule equally enforced aren't the ones in the wrong.
Like literally each example you linked here, came with a massive back lash, several of them getting the studios to publicly apologize for daring to cast the wrong people. (Hell, in a couple of the examples, some actors were swapped to white, and some to black in the same movie, but your Wiki list literally only cites the white actor swaps. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. It is not the swaps, its the hypocrisy of the reaction to them. )
