It does take place in a remote corner of Wales... and involves children from all around the world, collected there because they're special. But why does it matter? This is a fantasy movie about children with magical powers like pyrokinesis and invisibility. That's not exactly historically accurate, since it's, well, fantasy. But your question implies that the film should be historically accurate only when it comes to race?

I didn't realize the kids came from everywhere, I was under the impression they had come from Great Britain in general.

Okay, but people say that things like Avatar, despite being fantasy is based on asian culture so the cast should have been asian. So... if you have a fantasy that is based and takes place in early 1900 Wales, why is everyone all, "OH MY GOD WHY NO VARIANCE IN RACES???"

Because they're stupid and think it's 2016 America in every fictional work.

No it's more because people like you are idiotic and act like people of colour didn't exist at all in ancient societies that were predominantly white.

... do you think that POCs were only invented this year?

[(Anonymous)]

Even if they "only" came from Great Britain, Great Britain is not and was not 100% white even in the 1940s. They also had exactly zero people who could fly or become invisible at will, but again, we seem very focused on only being historically accurate when it comes to race. A bit funny, that.

I've never liked this. By that argument, you could have the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Fuck off with that idiot, get some proper sources (I don't even disagree with the point here, but seriously, that blog is just plain terrible).
