But then, the sort of people who live off check boxes aren't ever satisfied.

This is pretty much the specific part of the narrative that I have a problem with, to be clear.

Like, people are raising an objection (whitewashing) that seems pretty clear and straightforward. It doesn't have anything to do with "checking off enough diversity boxes", and all this evidence about how ~~~reasonable~~~ the filmmakers were trying to be doesn't actually speak to the decision that people have a problem with. If you don't think whitewashing matters, make that argument, but this is not a case where the filmmakers were trying their best to meet unreasonable expectations. At least not from anything that I've seen.

Just curious as to what you've seen about this specific movie that leads you to believe that?

Well, this is a conversation specifically about the whole whitewashing thing, so.... that.

I think "don't whitewash things" is a reasonable expectation. You might disagree with that. Maybe it would have been impossible to cast a non-white person in that part.

But the filmmakers did whitewash the part, and not - so far as we can tell - for any reason to do with trying to make it more diverse or whatever narrative anon was offering. It's not like they tried not to whitewash it and, whoops, accidentally slipped and fell down and cast Tilda Swinton.

I'm not even saying it, like, makes it an intrinsically bad or racist movie. I just wish they hadn't done it, but they did.

What do you have in mind with your question?
