Get a grip people. Who cares if the casting is colorblind? The original was made in 1939, during an era of segregation, where most people of color weren’t represented in film. Also a time when white actors played asians, blacks, and other people of color. It’s a fictional fairy-tale world. Why can’t a GREEN witch be played by an African american? Why can’t we reimagine a FICTIONAL world that has other people in it that aren’t white?? Our world isn’t just full or white people either, and neither is America. Who cares if we allow other races to be represented in a fictional story?? Seriously.
I don’t hear anyone freaking out about all the white actors who went blackface, or who played native American, asians, Arabs , etc. But you freak out when someone who in your mind should be white....but is played by someone who isn’t? It’s not like they are having Winston Church Hill played by a black North African or something.
This talk just makes you all look bigoted and plays into the racist stereotype that the left is trying to pain conservatives with.
You are not accurately representing most conservatives’ objections to the “race swapping” fad that has consumed Hollywood in recent years.
This makes your attempted scolding and thinly veiled accusations of racism meaningless.
