Yet it's okay to have black, Hispanic, and Asian actors play the Founding Fathers in Broadway's Hamilton.....

This liberal insanity continues until every ethnic group hates every other ethnic group.

This is all part of un-Americanizing America.

Since they are going to play the racial division games, this is another reason to boycott the film.

Or casting an black actor as a Norse god.

There was a remake of Cinderella by Whitney Houston about 15 year ago- my kids loved it.

It was a White King, married to a black wife, with an Asian son and both Cinderella and The Fairy Godmother were black and the evil step sisters were white.

Race played NO ISSUE in the movie, they just were what they were! And it worked BEAUTIFULLY! One of the best children movies ever.

Social justice warriors today would go ape $#!+ over David Carradine playing Qui Chang Caine.

Or how about Burt Reynolds playing a Native American:

I hate to say it. But I actually like this. I want movies that have something to do with the book and not some character who has little to do with the book slapped into an old discarded Amazing Hulk script. Just to trick the Hell Boy fans into going to the movie.

Most of these actors who play comic book characters are quite out of place. I mean Michael Keaton playing Batman? Its just stupid. This should not be about race. It should be about Hollywood producing good movies.

And it’s okay to recast other superheroes whatever color, ethnicity or gender you want...as long as the original hero was white.

Maybe Robert Lee can take a leave of absence from ESPN to play the part. :=)

That’s right. Because in Hamilton they wanted to make a liberal political statement. So that was ok, per liberal criteria.

Or casting Tom Cruise instead of trying to find someone like Jason Witten to play Jack Reacher.

So this is double standard hypocrisy.

Marvel has taken many white characters and changed them over time.

Can’t take a nonwhite character and make them white?

Effing PC libtard hypocrites. Fiction no less.

Pathetic. Cowardly. Stupid. Unless, of course, the character’s ethnicity is key to the portrayal - in which case the director is a nincompoop for casting this guy in the first place.

How about casting an idiot with a two digit IQ (Mark Ruffalo) to play the Hulk who in his normal state is a brilliant physicist? That’s offensive to everyone who ever passed a high school science class.
