This is where all the pointless outrage is just so tired and pointless. SO? People used to be fine with surfer-blonde types getting cast in Biblical dramas set in the Middle East.
So what is the problem here? It’s not like it’s gender-dysmorphing, plus it’s a FANTASY story.

I’ve never read a single Harry Potter book and could not get into the films for the life of me, BUT I do admire JK Rowling as a voice of social conscience.

The problem is it’s not benign. It’s always one way and one way only.

Snape is dyed in the wool SOB, an incel, with long greasy hair, who was bullied at school, because he was poor, and ugly, and socially awkward . Do you think there is any chance that Snape in the TV show will be the Snape in the books?

Me neither.

I like you as a polite female poster but you’re always buck the trend on these subjects

Would you be so open minded about social engineering if it were casting whites in historical black roles?

I doubt you would honestly no offense

I had this discussion here 25 years ago

Folks then said oh wardaddy don’t be mean they just want a bigger audience

Well look now

We’ve had racial and homosexual agenda and so on forced on us for decades by the same agenda driven folks who howl when it’s turned back on them

Many of us were already sick of it when it began

Make a black original

If it’s good and doesn’t woke preach it’ll gain a broad audience

It’s no different than commercials where the white dad is always daft and clumsy

They wish to create an alternate reality the stupids will accept as actually real

Watch NFL commercials in a game span

It’s 80% black characters

A Martian would think we’re 90% black two parent households all preppie with a wise admired dad
