I LOL’d when I read about some movie which made one of the Norse gods a black man. Loki, IIRC. But as a poster upthread said, wouldn’t the pc cohorts scream if Mandela or some mythological African figure was made white!

Happens all the time when opera companies stage Wagner Ring Cycles. It's supposedly about the voice... but I believe there is bias in castings to be as PC as possible. I was at a production of Die Fliegender Höllander at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus in Germany and the crowd actually booed the performance.

The Norse god in Thor was Heimdal, and he was played by...Idris Elba.

Well MLK Jr’s is now officially Chinese, since the entire US black population has urinated on his grave by electing someone solely on the color of their skin.
