>mfw it's true

What the fuck were they thinking?

>>85792658
They spent £8,500,000 per episode but just from the cast you can tell it will flop.. I'm guessing it's because the BBC has a diversity quota (not joking)

>implying english and american actors look like ancient greeks
If he's a good actor why does it matter what color is his skin? Back to /pol/ you bigot

>>85793039
BECAUSE THE GREEKS WEREN'T FUCKING BLACK, YOU DUMBSHIT.

>achilles described as blonde with light eyes

">implying english and american actors look like ancient greeks"

You do know English and american actors can tan right?

the jews want to kill anything that can be seen as "white culture"

BBC just thinks the entire country is like London with muslims and shitskins everywhere but it's not.

>>85793062
They weren't English either you dickhead
>>85793108
Ancient Greeks didn't look like modern English with a tan
>achilles described as blonde with light eyes
So what? I don't see you getting angry with Jorah Mormont being completely different in the show.

Just accept it, you're all bigots

>>85793039
imagine how these assholes would react if Malcolm X was played by a white man. it would depicted as the most racist casting decision ever made. the hypocrisy of these pricks is unbearable.

>>85792587
>£8,500,000
I think someone in BBC is embezzling the license fee money of the British,
and they are using the blackwashing of the cast as a method to avoid scrutiny.

>>85793128
have you been to literally any other city lately?
the last place I lived that didn't have tons of pakis was Bristol, and even then there were quite a few of them, and tons of nigs and somalians in st pauls/montpelier

>>85793185
fine. i have a crazy idea: why don't they cast A FUCKING GREEK to play him? you know, since ACHILLES IS A FUCKING GREEK.

>>85793185
Imagine a show set in ancient China but half the cast is white

And while we're at it why not make historical male figures women instead, you don't wanna be sexist do you?

The UK has been slowly strangled into cultural marxism by a shadowy group of fabian socialists who have infiltrated every party and every public institution since the beginning of the last century. Despite how x-tier this sounds it is very real, it's akin to the Trotskyist Entrysm, what they have now is a Right which is essentially like the Left (maybe lagging a decade) and a public opinion whose political axis is so much on the leftist spectrum that the Right is virtually not existent.

The worst thing about this is that it is literally cultural appropriation from Greek mythology, reconverting it to fit their multiCult deliriums and agenda, insulting all the Greeks and Anatolians in the process and spitting on their history and mythology.

i'm just happy there's another historical show coming up, we have far too few of those

Zeus is black as well

Ancient Greeks looked like modern Greeks and they look nothing like Englishmen with a tan.

Besides it shouldn't even matter what race is playing Achilles.

The point is if he's a good actor or not.

People that care about the color of an actor's skin should be ashamed of themselves

The blackwashing is actually redpilled as fuck anons, consider the following :
>Greek woman leaves her feckless Greek husband for a hard working, suave and charismatic Trojan
>Greek husband chimps out, gets all his brothers, cousins and friends to come with him to smash up an ancient civilisation by crowding into a shitton of boats and sailing across the mediterranean
>despite numerical advantages, the Greeks can't defeat the superior Trojan defenses - an obstacle they can't just smash through - and are forced to lay siege to the city outside the wall
>the Greeks are unable to control their animal instincts, rape a holy woman and defile a temple - they have no self control and can't think of consequences
>eventually the Greeks resort to single combat, leveraging their animalistic retard strength in the form of Achilles, who cannot be killed, and using it to kill the Trojan champion. Guided by the divine, a Trojan uses well honed skill, the product of years of training and hard work, to take down Achilles, who fails to protect himself due to his own hubris and inability to think of consequences
>Even after this, the Walls of Troy still stand and the Greeks can't work out how to get in, again because they can't just solve the problem with brute force.
>(((Odysseus))) comes up with a plan to trick the Trojans, taking advantage of their good will and greatest flaw - thinking their fellow man is as civilised as they are - by giving them a peace offering and pretending to leave. The Trojans take in the Horse because it'd be insensitive not to #letthemin
>the Greeks, working at night as is their wont, now established inside the city, open the flood gates and allow their friends to come in even greater numbers
>Troy is burned to the ground after just a few hours of having Greeks in its walls, and the Greek woman goes back to her man where she will no doubt face years more of beatings and abuse.

Now replace Troy with Europe, Greeks with niggers and Trojans with whites.

Many Brits can't really tan, they just get the lobster look, that is because they have one of the biggest ratios of red melanin over black melanin (even if they have dark hair), even Scandinavians or blonde Russians can tan better than Brits.

I'm not sure that's true, i'm half english half scottish, when i've not been in the sun for ages and become really pale the first time i go out i turn red but in like a week it turns from red to golden brown.. I'm pretty sure anybody who lives in a hot climate and is exposed to the sun daily will become darker.

Casting of white actor as Martin Luther King prompts outrage from playwright

>The casting of a white actor as Martin Luther King in an Ohio university production of Katori Hall’s acclaimed play The Mountaintop was “a disservice to not just Dr King but an entire community”, the playwright has said

>Hall told the Guardian that director Michael Oatman’s decision to double-cast the six-show production with a black actor and a white actor as King went “deeper than just casting a white man in the role of MLK”

>“I just really feel as though it echoes this pervasive erasure of the black body and the silencing of a black community – theatrically and also, literally, in the world,” she said

>She said that Oatman did not discuss the decision to use a white actor with her before the play ran and called the decision “disrespectful”

>Since the Kent State University production ran, Hall has adjusted The Mountaintop’s licensing agreement to say: “Both characters are intended to be played by actors who are African-American or Black. Any other casting choice requires the prior approval of the author.”

>She said that the issue of representation is a common discussion topic for theatremakers of color, but rarely gets attention beyond that community. The decision to cast a white man as one of the country’s best-known civil rights figures, however, changed that.

>“I feel as though a lot of theatremakers were a bit appalled at the choice that the director made – and that it was supported so wholeheartedly by the institution,” Hall said. “So it was really a moment to talk about playwright intention, but to then, beyond that, talk about much bigger issues, about not only being a black artist but also being a black person in America.”

Dailyreminder that the british taxpayer is funding these kind of program and they can go to jail if they don't pay their redevance to the bbc

How is no politics ever proposed to make unlawful this retrograde law ? British are litteraly funding their own indoctrination propaganda machine.

Worse of all the propaganda isn't even good and create tension instead of cementing the cohesion of the nation

look it's another thread with /pol/tards sperging out over black people being cast in tv shows and movies

don't you get tired of your lives when you literally spend all day just complaining about black people on the internet?

i'm sure when you're on your deathbed you'll say i'm glad i spend so much of my youth getting triggered by black people. that was a really good use of my time.

>>85793185
I know this is bait, but fuck it i'll fall for it. One thing is hair and eye colour (Jorah Mormont) but imagine Jon Snow being black for the sake of having blacks included in the story. If that wouldn't bother you then I would appreciate if you considered kys.

Romans never came in big numbers in Greece, for this reason the East Roman Empire soon transformed to a Greek (Byzantine) Empire. In fact the Latines called the East Roman Empire, Imperium Graecorum. And the Ottomans because of the religion rarely breed with the Greek Ortodox Christians.
