Interesting nuance. Im ignorant on Brazilian culture, but if I stick to my core point, it shouldn't matter if a director makes a choice, at least not to get someone fired.
Like they could make an all female presenting version of "Rudy" and that's their choice.
Changing from a person of color to a white guy is one change that is never good though, because of how over saturated that demographic is represented in movies due to a wide variety of awful reasons.
I guess so, as this article describes. I don't agree with it but will respect it (not that anyone cares what I think, I'm just chatting.)
Regarding oversaturation, at least in us movies it doesn't completely surprise me that there are just more "saturating" white actors on account of the white demographics of the country ( checking, even today around 75% to 71% white https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/RHI125222#RHI125222 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States ) I bet due to underreporting that value is lower
Anyway, apparently I'm not on target, and so be it. Everyone be well
Edit also I didn't downvote you
It is way higher than 75% for lead roles though, like 90%+
Didn't downvote you either, not sure what that is all about. Guess people don't like someone taking time to process new info.
