Some white people just want maintain the status quo -- they've controlled everything before so they want to keep on controlling it and they will give any stupid reason to do so.

Take Jesus Christ for example -- he's Jewish and probably looks Arab but he's widely known to be white and blonde. Do you see white people trying to correct this?

And then in old Hollywood, they would have white actors in blackface and yellowface rather actually casting black and Asian actors for the ethnic roles.

And then there was the casting of Rue in Hunger Games, a black actress was cast because her character in the book was supposed to be a dark skinned girl but so many white readers were shocked saying things like why was a black girl was cast or when Rue turned out to be a black character, they didn't feel so bad for her death unlike when they thought she was white in the book.

So, as you can see some white people just want to carry on having ALL white people in the films, tv shows, ads, etc -- they have no intention of letting other races being in the spotlight. So, you know what -- who gives a damn what they think.

Racial diversity is good and it's the way of the world now. Let people of color be normalized in the mainstream and to be treated as equals.

The more they do blind casting for fictional roles, the better -- perpetuating this white superiority complex and casting people of color in bit and negative roles should be put to an end!
