Both whitewashing and turning a ginger character black are time honored traditions.

A certain group of people care a lot about this, the rest of the world isn't as insane, that's all.

I dislike it no matter the color for most things. There are plenty good actors that would match a characters ethnicity but they decide to go with the opposite of that. Now I’m all for representation and stuff, but when Hollywood does this it either feels forced or ignorant
