So... you say the actress for Anathema is not fitting because she doesn't look like she's described but you apparently have no issue with Shadow's actor? If anything, the actress is much closer to her role's description in the book. With Shadow, it's "let's cast this very obviously black man in a role that is described as POC but so ambiguous people never know where to place him, race-wise".

Shadow is explicitly mixed-race in the book (last chapter, for those who missed it all the other times). Ricky Whittle is mixed-race. That's why no one has a problem with the casting. A mixed-race actor was cast to play a mixed-race character.

I don't have a problem with Anathema's casting either fwiw.
