Does it upset you when black people are on your screen? Can't possibly NOT look at the screen when the scary black people are on it? Or are you "mortally offended" when they recast characters with people of color?

You know you ARE ALLOWED TO NOT WATCH THESE THINGS IF THEY OFFEND YOU.

You have that much control over your body.

Keep guessing.



This shifts the burden of proof onto the other party, which isn't logical, especially if the original claim is contentious or baseless. In logical debate, the person making a claim should provide the proof.

Then I guess we're at an impasse. I see you as scared of seeing black faces in places you don't expect it. Must mean you inherently are afraid of black people. But it's not strange for MAGAts to be scared like that.

That appears to be a personal mental health issue of yours.

It is entertainment. It is not a historical documentary. They also do not show people dying of "consumption", starving to death, or women having few rights.

Remember, entertainment is not a source for historical accuracy. That is what history classes are for.

Really?

It's not like accidentally having a 1965 model Ford visible in a film that's supposed to me set in 1963, is it?

Advertisers spend big money to make people believe that what they see in the media is reality, pop pop.

Odd that you don't know that's how propaganda works.

Roll, Tide!

They spend a lot of money to entertain people.

They also work to not alienate potential viewers.

I have been told by people in the entertainment industry.

Also, if you can watch historical dramas and not see the whitewashing, you are either not paying attention or you are ignorant about history.
 
The motivation for race-swapping in historical drama films and television programs can be multifaceted, drawing from various social, cultural, and commercial rationales. Here's an in-depth look based on available information:

1. Promoting "Diversity and Inclusion:"
  • Representation: One of the primary motivations is to increase the representation of people of color (POC) in media, providing roles and visibility for actors of color. This reflects a broader societal push for "diversity and inclusivity".
  • Audience Connection: By diversifying the cast, producers may aim to make historical narratives more relatable to a broader, more diverse audience, allowing viewers from different backgrounds to "see themselves" in stories they might otherwise feel disconnected from.

2. Challenging Historical Narratives
  • Reimagining History: Some creators argue that race-swapping challenges history, offering a commentary on or reinterpretation of historical events through a "modern lens".
  • Cultural Commentary: It can serve as a critique or conversation starter about race, identity, and the roles that different racial groups play.

3. Commercial and Marketing Strategies
  • Market Expansion: Studios may see "diversity" in casting as a way to expand their audience, tapping into demographics that might be more inclined to watch if they see characters that reflect their own racial or ethnic backgrounds.
  • Controversy for Attention: Controversial casting choices can generate significant media buzz and public discourse, which in turn can lead to increased viewership.

4. Creative Expression
  • Artistic Freedom: Some filmmakers view race-swapping as an artistic choice, emphasizing "diversity" over historical accuracy, even in narratives where the race of the character is central to the plot.
