Oh, that would be hella awkward. The other character is a black civil rights activist from the 1960s.

and really, race bending is just awkward in general. Not merely casting a black person for a neutral role cause why not, but in this case, characters really are meant to be a certain race, and when you fuck with that, it's a warning sign you don't give a shit about the work you are adapting.

I wonder if they're trying to avoid the impression of "she's an irrational, distrustful black woman but she comes to her senses and trusts the hero white man" thing. I don't think King would've intentionally written it that way, but I haven't read that far into the series.

There are issues with the way she was written, but imo she came off as fairly sympathetic. Everything she did could be clearly traced back to the horrific violence and psychological torture she'd suffered, and her eventual recovery was treated more as her triumph than as her coming to her senses and being won over.
