I'm shocked there isn't a thread about this? What is everyone's feelings the casting of different races for iconic characters? I find the uproar comical quite frankly.
Disney, Amazon, etc re-casting with different races

Mermaids aren't real, so who cares what color skin they are drawn with?

The bigger travesty is Disney insists on doing live action remakes of classics. None of which are better than the original.

only thing that bothers me about it is when the product sucks the studios like to use the you only hated it cause you’re a racist. Allot of times it’s not the actors/actresses fault the story tellers are just frauds and lazy. Idt I remember anyone talking shit cause cat woman and commish Gordon were black cause they absolutely killed it. Everyone talks shit about the Witcher cause it just sucks. And when you say it sucks your now a racist lol sorry doesn’t work like that.

As long as there is Bermuda Grass on the set, they should be fine. For reasons I don't have to get into on here.

Those who see the need for such nonsense are the biggest racists of all.

Define "iconic characters".
The Little Mermaid???
I saw an uproar around Amazon's Lord of the Rings inspired series casting black actors and I don't get that at all.
I don't recall the books explicitly stating all dwarves and eleves are only lily white.
Are nerds that racist?!?!?

I enjoyed the live action Mulan.
I tried the Jungle Book & Lion King and did not enjoy them much at all, so I stopped there.
This new Pinocchio looks like straight up blasphemy.
Tom Hanks???

Someone was complaining about this in terms of there being black Hobbits or black StormTroopers or black Game of Thrones. I am paraphrasing the response but it was something like "if you can believe in magic rings and light sabers but can't believe in someone there not being white, you're the problem"

Your post is 100% spot on... but I did think casting Fin as black was an odd choice.
My reasoning is that the Empire was quite obviously painted with nazi imagery in the original trilogy- the leadership was exclusively all old white dudes, the stormtroopers were uniform height and build.
The rebels on the other hand had white dudes, black dudes, women, fish people, and a wrinkly old avocado as leaders. The rebel forces were a mix of every variety of human and humanoid.
I assumed that was an intentional juxtaposition.
With all the Nazi imagry for the empire in the original trilogy, seeing a black stormtrooper was as jarring as it would have been to see a godfather enforcer with a southern accent.

You've proven your fakeness time and again. The people who want to inject their woke perceptions into every little thing are the real problem. You're the bad people. You're the reason racism will never go away. You suck at politics. You suck at being human. You suck at life.

You’re the guy who had to enlist to lose weight and get an education. You like to attack my character every chance you get regardless of the thread topic, but please try to stay on topic and explain why you like your hobbits little and white
