AYRT

Odin may be a divine being, but he still appears as a physical being. And in American Gods, the gods are generally implied to appear as their believers see them. Like, Loki has red hair, Anansi is black, and so on.

You can imagine the character any way you like, obviously, but I don't much like your argument because, as another anon pointed out, you could easily use to argue that the main character from Anansi Boys doesn't have to be black. (Plus, Shadow could be mixed race and still have dark skin.)

I addressed the issue of Anansi Boys in my response below. Also, please be reassured that I would not use that/my argument to justify whitewashing any characters...I think the characters should be cast as they are described, in Fat Charlie's case, he is NOT described as white (neither is Shadow), therefore should not be played by a white actor.
