Two classes of nuclear-powered submarines lead the list of delays, one of which will be the main carrier of the nation’s sea-based nuclear missiles. Aware of the issues for years, the Navy is still unsure how to fix them. “We don’t have detailed plans of action, milestones, initiatives — we are identifying and deeply looking into where we are now in a ‘get real, get better’ approach,” Nickolas Guertin, the Navy’s senior acquisition executive, told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday after unveiling the results of the Navy-ordered 45-day study. Our subs stop nuclear attacks because they can retaliate... To turn this special task over to "people in charge based on sexual kink or color" is insane. Or intentional...

No one can play the part of Hamlet unless they are Danish. The important thing here is the ability to maintain the suspension of disbelief.
When dealing with homogeneous populations, it is irrational to stick someone into the mix that is clearly different from the group in fundamental ways.
An all black "Hamlet" is a reasonable interpretation of the idea, but a patchwork of "diversity" is just silly, especially when dealing with aristocratic families, such as in Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet.

They did this on purpose. Interracial cast. The ugliest Juliet they could find. (Sorry, not sorry) The marketing department uses their army of spam bots to post “racist” comments. Free publicity for the movie. They do not care about the feelings of the actress, who does not deserve the criticism. But they don’t care.

I think maybe she left ugly behind and wanted to see how much farther she could.
I don’t care about the color of the actor/actress if the script is good, and acting is good. But for a romantic tragedy you should at least have moderately attractive people on the roles. She ain’t that!!

You’d have to find a fictional character that’s black and have a white actor post it. So far blacks are playing white fictional characters.

Ok just doing a shallow dive I can’t find any racist comments, just the REPORTS of racist comments.
Is this in the “Things That Never Happened” category? Because it kinda feels like it is.
The woman is not very attractive and the guy playing Romeo looks like a pure dweeb. Not a very likely star crossed couple. I will wonder if her family will be all black and if his family objects on those grounds.
All that said - big deal if Juliet is played by a woman with darker skin pigments? It takes place in Italy - you should see some of my relatives.

I wonder if we have any brave producer that can do this. It might be the only way to stop it.
