It's a film about Vikings. Why would it not have an all-white cast?
Of course, this didn't stop Neflix.

White supremacists have claimed ownership over the new Viking Hollywood blockbuster The Northman, which stars Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The epic historical film, which has been released nationwide today, is the latest from Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) and a violent revenge tale taken from Viking legends.
However its 'all-white cast', which features famous faces including Alexander Skarsgård and Ethan Hawke, as well as it's 'pure macho stereotypes' have seen the blockbuster championed by supremacists before it was even released.
Posts on Reddit and 4Chan have been celebrating the film, with one 4Chan user writing: 'Robert Eggers. He is restoring pride in our people with his great films. The Northman is going to be epic… Hail Odin.'
Another person commented: 'Northman is a based [agreeable] movie, all white cast and shows pure raw masculinity.'
The connection between white supremacy and an interest in Viking culture is not new.
A number of alt-right terrorists have referenced the medieval period during their attacks in recent years, including Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, who killed at least 49 people in a Christchurch mosque in 2019 and Jeremy Christian who killed two women in 2017.

Oh screw them.
Yeah. All 5 supremacists with their hundreds of fake accounts and army of bots.
Au contraire….. go watch the new Vikings Valhalla series on Netflix. One of the Viking queens is….. a black chick. 😂😂😂
Do we even think about all the movies that appeal to left wing or BLM.
Characters flipped from white to black even when historically impossible. All black casts. Absurd transgender actors. Who cares?
And? Is it not OK to be White?
This, exactly. A movie extolling black culture would be hailed as the greatest of all time, especially if it featured a female lead and at least one guy and one Trans character.
To hell with the woke critics.

LOL, because all the Negroes in the Nordic region a couple thousand years ago?
One that was total BS was having Idris Elba as Heimdall in Thor.
They had never seen a black before, let alone look to one as a God.
Not even!
Just a bunch of cry baby libs, mostly pajama wearing soy boy men who wish they could be like Vikings and are when they are gaming but that’s it decrying this because of “toxic masculinity”
Netflix also made a “Compton” version of LotR show.
Yeah well that was the Viking culture back then
Its called HISTORY
AKA REALITY
Ever note that it never flips the other way? A Black character being switched to White?
This is on purpose.
I still think they should remake Roots and swap it up for the Irish slave trade. Chris Hemsworth can play Kunte McKente.
BINGO! 🎉 😂🙌
Sorry Kunta Kinte; you weren't invited—no Viking for you!.
“One of the Viking queens is….. a black chick. 😂😂😂”
That is called affirmative action and trust me the real Vikings did NOT have that.
also let it be known Netflix’s stocks are down 50% oh gee I wonder why?
LOL
Perhaps they should make a documentary about the history of chinese dynasties starring only mexicans and japanese people and chicks with red hair and green eyes
What year did your people set sail on the ocean?
Really? I shouldn’t be surprised.
