also most tv shows have silly shit like black nobles and since they were well recorded we know whether they were black or white, and they weren't excepting a few select cases

they are very much doing as they said they would, which is cast black actors for white characters for "diversity", I don't see the controversy with stating this fact, neither do i see it as "racist" or hurting the cause to state a fact, how important is it really that period dramas cast black actors for white characters, does it help inner city youth take their education seriously and study to get into a good college? what does it accomplish?
