Young Scottish actress Mandipa Kabana has been cast to play Joan of Arc in a 2026 Scottish theatrical production that explores the “power of youth-led change”. 'Classic tale of war, duplicity, power and wealth gets a fresh new treatment' writes The Herald about the upcoming theatre adaption of Joan of Arc. Stewart Laing, the theatre director who cast Mandipa, had compared the French Patron Saint to Greta Thunberg: "Look at someone like Greta Thunberg. There are young people with loud voices protesting against those in power."

I never beat up black people when these things happen. Black people font wake up and say—“I think I’ll make a movie today and switch the White characters with another race.” Here in America, black folks don’t go to Hollywood and make movies. They can’t do that any more than I could go to New York and start selling diamonds in the diamond district.

“don’t wake up,” I meant. Thanks, worthless AI spellchecker

Why is she black?
She was burned at the stake.

Too soon?

Comparing Joan of Arc to Greta Thunberg?!

[Pilsner]

Yes. She was a black woman. Just like the man who is black from the waist down.

Anakin Skywalker.

Forget about race.

Joan of Arc worked for the glory of God to the point of martyrdom.

Environmentalists work for mammon, asking the little people to sacrifice for the benefit of their betters.

St. Joan was not a woke, anti-Western Civilization activist. Leave Catholics alone.

With a lot of heavy make up, it could work.

[Jonty30]

It’s a sign of a crap production, if they have to use shock value of race to promote it.

Hilarious memes, though.

I reject movies that show a villain with a silencer on a revolver. But substituting some DEI loser for a notable historical figure is unforgivable. I won't even watch it for free.

It'll be a lousy production regardless, guaranteed. People will say, "Well, that's two hours I'll never get back."

[telescope115]

Right. The people who create these shows can’t come up with anything original, so they construct intellectual hogwash.

[EvilCapitalist]

Sure. Haven’t you heard of the Kabana clan? They were obviously leading the charges at Stirling Bridge, Falkirk, and Culloden.

She was also a sister that really cooked.

Maude reference.
