And certain fictional characters should NEVER be changed, due to idiotic DEI CRAP!
So, I guess you don't care if a black actor is the next Robin Hood, King Arthur,Peter Pan, or Alice. But many of us DO indeed care and it has nothing at all to do with being "racist" !

Have you been to the rest of England in 2024? THE REST OF IT IS ALMOST 100% CAUCASIAN.
SPOT ON AND IN SPADES!
Isn’t this cultural appropriation?
And changing the number of times a Time Lord can regenerate also ruined the show.
Look what happened the ORIGINAL MASTER tried to come back a thirteenth time, against the law, in the original series!
I may be a little behind on all the shows and movies. But from what I've seen, I find the British actors (white and black) to be superior over the Americans. I find it that it's because they had more training in the old country.
Maybe it's different with the British actors in 2024, if so, I'm not updated on what's happening on the other side of the pond.
I think Hollywood didn't really get that bad until the MeToo movement and now you have that woke crap, anything produced by Hollywood after 2020 is unwatchable.
according to the 2021 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 59.6 million, and 81.7% of the population was white people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (9.3%), followed by black (4.0%), mixed (2.9%) and other (2.1%) ethnic groups
Like all the TV ads these days they’re just selling Skin Color
Is it actor who played the policeman Luther in that acclaimed series a while back?
It doesn’t bother me that much. I can’t wait for them to make Rosa Parks a white tranny. Perhaps Dylan Mulvaney will get that part?
When do we get to see a honky play da Black Panther from Wakanda Forever? I’d also like to see a movie or Broadway show with a honky playing Martin Luther King Jr. or Frederick Douglass.
I'm older than you, have been watching Brit movies from the time I was 7 years old, and attended LIVE performances, in a theatre, with all BRIT casts since I was 3 1/2.
Beside that, I have been watching BRIT T,V. series since MASTERPIECE THEATRE and MYSTERY first aired on PBS.
Prior to that, as a child, I watched OMNIBUS, with Alistair Cooke, religiously, with my family.
And lets not forget all of the great Brit actors and actresses who crossed "the Pond" and starred in old Hollywood films!
Frankly, I couldn't care less, if I tried, about the race of an actor or actress...EXCEPT when said performer is in a role of a person who is NOT whatever race that reformer is!
Even today, when a movies actor or actress has been in a stage play, they are, nonetheless LOUSY, when compared to those who came long before them...in both America and the UK!
I've been going to both Broadway and London shows ( stage plays ), for more decades than you've been alive.
Marlon Brandon was the very FIRST one of the "mumbles school of acting", in America. It tool a while for that to catch on here and even many MORE years to do so in the UK, but it's here now! And I did not say ALL thespians fall into that category, but sadly, many do now.
Also, what happened to "trained voices"?
Today, stage performers are miked up, because they are incapable pf "projecting"!
I could go on and on and on; however, I've gotten pretty deep into the weeds as it is, in order to provide you with FACTUAL answers.
And I didn't even go there...vis-a-vis, the accent bit! But should you want an explanation of THAT, drop me a FRmail.
Which proves that what I wrote is factually correct.
I'll give you that. You're older than me. I can see why you're not impressed with what's coming out of Great Britain today. Even so, it's still better than what we got.
*British Accent* "Hi, I'm Robert Taylor...and I'm a black actor!"
I can agree with that.
On a fake person? Good try.
Big Dr. Who fan starting with Tennant and lost it with Whittacker.
Really loved that program along with “The Walking Dead” til it went woke.
Now I watch RAV.
You really have almost NO knowledge with which to make an intelligent comparison!
Without looking it up, I have extremely grave doubts that you can name me 20 BRIT movie stars who made American movies prior to and just after WWII; let alone stage and T.V. performers on early American T.V.! And then, contrast and compare American actors and actresses, from that same era, with the same number of today's!
I love old movies...always have. Today's movies are garbage! Ditto T.V. shows! And don't get me started on the theatre!
Yes, you have opinions, most of them are invalid, due to fact that you are just talking about what YOU like and NOT breaking it all apart and putting it back together again, with facts!
And sans looking it up, I doubt that you can explain to me what "BBC ENGLISH" once was.
An speaking of English...you should have written "....older than I", instead of "older than me"!
