Being Romani and his whole family being persecuted/victimized for it is part of his origin story IIRC, so there's some standing for it on a story level.

OTOH they had non-Jewish actors play Magneto the Holocaust survivor so idk where the outrage was back then.

Times change, people become more aware of things they weren’t before. There probably would be outrage about Magneto if it happened today.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, hopefully. I would agree there should be criticism, just saying I can also see why OP is confused when there were previous examples like that.

Outrage about Jewish characters being played by gentiles (or canonically Jewish characters being the first choice for race-lifting to more "obvious" minorities) tends to be written off by fandom at large. It's a source of great frustration in Jewish circles.

And Julian McMahon isn't Romani either. So even if it's a matter of the mentality changing with time, I wonder a little if part of the outrage is not intensified by a previous dislike of RDJ/MCU!Tony Stark (for some of the people hating on the idea of RDJ as Doom). That saying, I do think it would have been best to find a Romani actor to play the role; and have RDJ come back as a Tony Stark variant. Also, I think it's good to take a risk on less well-known actors.
