If you didn’t like the show, you didn’t like the show.

However, the move to make more equitable casting decisions in recent years is a positive one for communities that have been marginalized and exploited to build most of our institutions.

Representation is an important tool we can use to affirm the humanity of those we’ve historically dehumanized. Maybe that makes me “woke”.  That term was stolen from the struggle of the black community and is now used to belittle any effort to grant them full access to full personhood. Maybe you are a member of that community. I don’t know. I’m not.

The disgust you expressed about skin color specifically lead me to feel like maybe this was punching down though. 

 Skin color is irrelevant. To try and establish any connection to marginalised people where there is none is wokeism. It's feel-good and not based in any historic fact. 

 Well, you sound a lot like you find skin color relevant when it doesn't fit your expectation.

Historically, movies had blond Jesus and every main character was cast rather more white than historically accurate and now the trend is the reverse, where Greek characters are cast black. Both is wrong in my opinion but being used to the former, we only feel it now as being wrong.

 I’m not sure what this means. Can you enlighten me? 

 I hear you can only do that yourself 

 Okay 👍🏼 

 Agreed. That’s how I interpreted this, too.
