It has less to do with the color of an actor in a movie that causes this angst among people than it has with the process of injecting race or sex roles into movies where the component didn’t exist in the original, and doing so for woke reasons.

Think making James Bond a black man or homosexual, or Ghostbusters all women.

I am sure there are people who are triggered by seeing “people of color” or women in movies, but those people are pretty rare.

Most people don’t get “triggered” by seeing Denzel Washington in a movie about an airline pilot, but they do get “triggered” seeing a play about Alexander Hamilton that features historically white persons as black persons.

EXACTLY! I'm upset with the companies/organizations that are shoehorning this crap into TV programs/movies. I know, and you know, that's exactly what they're doing, and I resent it. It's THEIR efforts that are driving me away from TV. I hold NO ill will towards the actors. They're just looking for work.and I can only say...more power to them.
