Sure. Like all the White men who have played Othello?

I think this is a little different.


Race swapping in a work of fiction is very different from doing it with a historical figure.

Othello wasn’t ‘race swapped’; the character remained a Black man, just played by White ones in makeup.

In this instance, it seems they’re actually portraying St. Joan as Black.
