Netflix just can't help themselves!

Have followedThe Last Kingdomsince it was on the BBC. Low budget but have really enjoyed it up until the first episode of Season 5...



Really Netlfix? A black Catholic priest in 9th/10th century England? Honestly just lazy, could have cast a North African or even an Arab and it would have been historically accurate.

I haven't watchedVikingsbefore, will I have to experience the same on that show?

Netflix is required to always include a black person in everything. Itโ€™s never about finding the right person for the role.

Its wrong to cast a white actor in a fictional role that was originally black, yet its okay for a black actor or actress to act in a historical show role of a white person, why is Hollywood pushin this anti-white agenda.

BBC were sorry that they couldn't put any women in a drama about the SAS.

What is the obsession with black people though? That's what I don't get. I could respect it even more if you saw other minorities getting roles but it's mainly just 'throw a black guy in'.

They don't have a choice, OP. Netflix, Amazon Studios, HBOMax, etc all have mandatory diversity requirements. Producers basically have two choices in order to meet these requirements - cast minorities or insert homosexual/trans storylines.
In the case of Vikings Valhalla, they took a real-life white male chieftain and made him a strong, black woman. The presumption can be made that this was done because they felt like shoe-horning a gay storyline would detract from the show's few plot-lines. Likewise for Last Kingdom. Either you get the unrealistic minority priest, or Utred would have to experiment with taping his dink back and spend a few eps with different pronouns.


The mandatory diversity requirement is pretty ridiculous when it comes to history-based shows, but it is what it is.

libtards work on feels not logic


Libtards are too dumb to realize it undermines their argument that "people of color" are so oppressed when they keep showing them in all of these positions of wealth and power hundreds of years ago.

Source? When did this start? How come past seasons didn't have anyone black?

LOLed a bit when I saw that. I'm pretty sure they mentioned he was from Rome originally and came to England because he had a gambling problem. So at least there is the realm of possibility about it. But let's be honest, the show was too white and they needed to change that before the series ended.

First season of the netflix spinoff has a black Queen. I will spoil this for you though as I know it will make you feel better about watching it.

Spoiler!
She only has a small part and they kill her off at the end of the first season

What if this dude is just a really good actor and actually went to school for acting and while he was in school learning the art he played a lot of different roles that werent all black people.

Sometimes, it may be a shocker, black people dont want to only play black people in movies. Sometimes they also want to play historical figures as an artist and it has nothing about "black washing" movies.

There are times when it is obvious and intentional but just because it wasn't historical isnt good enough for me.

At some point we just have to accept the small inconsistencies if we actually want to blend as a society and "not see race"

do people really expect the alternative that black people are never allowed to play white historical figures and all movies must be historically racially correct?

IDK, some of the above examples are pretty ridiculous to be fair. Also, I can imagine the hysteria if they had white guys playing Shaka Zulu or Mansa Munsa.
