I think people are fundamentally misunderstanding the argument between incorrect racial and gender casting and applying it every oppressed identity, when it doesn't really make sense. A Jewish actor can play a non-Jewish character and no one would question that character's identity. Same with a gay actor playing a straight character. But the moment you cast a black actor as a white character, nobody would say "this character is white in the movie". A black man is never going to play Hitler, except in some artsy re-imagination, where his blackness is some sort of statement. A transwoman won't be allowed to play as a cis female love interest in a summer blockbuster. The audience is never going to dissociate the actor's race and gender from the characters they portray, hence why racial and gender-correct casting is so important to the characters, and to the actors' job prospects.

Of course, there's a lot we can say about the fact that white Jews are the only ones getting media representation, but that's another can of worms.
