I'll 'third' that.

There are 5 races with different ethnicities,we are NOT the same. If we were meant to be the same we would all be the same colour. Let the black and Asians keep their ethnicity instead of trying to take away from them their culture and ethnicity and let us keep our own ethnicity just as it was meant to be.
Drives me mad.

Moreover, it seems to me that leftists advocate political correctness where-ever/when-ever they choose, provided it suits their needs at the time.
I recall, a few years back, when they were doing a remake of the film "Moby Dick", the leftists complained bitterly that in the ORIGINAL film, the character of Queequeg was played by an Austrian actor by the name of Friedrick von Ledebur, (white man), instead of a South Pacific actor (of which there are darn few, if any, who might fit the bill for this major character).
what's the bottom line ? In the wacko world of political correctness blacks may play historically white characters, BUT a white actor may NEVER play a character that was historically black or Asian etc
Having a black actress play Anne Boleyn, is an insult of the first magnitude.

I sometimes wonder whether common sense will ever be restored.
