    It’s weird how the reverse is somehow ok now. Anne Boleyn played by a black woman why not? Historical accurac? What even is that?? .

    Edit: you’re all ignoring that most of the roles being blackwashed are not white, how is it ok for black culture to just appropriate our own ethnic figures?

      It is different, if color of skin is a relevant part of the context of the story. Having John Brown played by a black man would be equally misleading.

      For Anne Boleyn’s story on the other hand, racism did not play a part, because it wasn’t even invented yet.
