Excuse me but I thought that the job of an actor was to play other people. Color has nothing to do with it. Marlon Brando payed an oriental in “Tea House of the August Moon and Alec Guinnes played a Japanese in one of his movies. He also played an Arab in Lawrence of Arabia as did Anthony Quinn. If they pull it off, they are considered great actors. Let's face it, this whole thing is because it is about a man with Black blood. Any other race would not even be mentioned. Frankly I'm getting sick of this crybaby race crap. Hey, I'm American Indian and I didn't see anything wrong with Jeff Chandler playing Cochise or Charles Bronson playing Indian in more than one movie. I thought they did a very good job.

The amazing thing is that Charles Bronson was of Crimean Tatar parentage, who are themselves “of color” per most Russians. His Tatar features allowed him to pass for Mexican or American Indian I guess.
