Its even worse than that. They had a white voice actor when the cartoon character is black!

Bridgerton probably gives these people seizures

The sentiment doesn't really fit the character at all.

Just ignore these losers. Clearly the big movie studios don't care either, which must mean casting a black person does not affect ticket sales either.

The people defending the casting of the Odyssey are the same people who would get upset if they cast a blond hair blue eyes white girl as clayapatra.

Any actor should be able to play any role regardless of race or gender. Anything else is systemic discrimination.

"You can't play shakespeare because you're black!" screams the basement dwelling internet troll at the kenyan shakespeare society.
