Not that its the same but you'll be happy with white guys playing Mandela, MLK etc in movies?
African Americans would probably start another series of massive riots.

Well, to be fair, until recently there was a lot of whitewashing ie white actors playing non white historical figures.

Like John Wayne playing Genghis Khan.

Or The Human Stain (2003) where Anthony Hopkins played Coleman Silk.

Though I remember more egregious cases of whitewashing brown people, like “the Gods of Egyot” or the 10 commandments
