Honestly, the re-imagining of our oppressors as ethnic minorities is somehow even more insulting than depicting a straight up white racist.
At least with the latter, it’s true to the historical nature of the oppression. What is this even trying to achieve? Normalizing the oppression being perpetrated by the very same minorities who were on the receiving end, so it’s not just white people who did the oppression in a twisted “revisionist” way?
I feel like only white people enjoy this shit.
I think the origin of this is Google noticing "oh, whenever we ask it to draw X profession, it just draws middle aged white men. We'll make it spit out different races to any prompt to fix this!"
so one part is just blind casting, which is good for actors/producers but can be a little frustrating if they're trying to make a historical story, not a huge deal tho in a lot of cases
but i think there is an insidious bit in shit like Hamilton when the casting is part of the politics of the show and that politics is one of lib conciliation/appropriation.
