Race -swapping in movies actually happens way more, the other way around.
No one complained.
Bit when Europeans are race-swapped, for movies apparently there is a problem.
@MadrePappagallo @sardonicsmile What's really funny about this is that it's been less than 100 years since entire towns in the US had deed restrictions prohibiting selling houses to Greeks, because Greeks aren't white.
@RabbiMikeIsraetel @MadrePappagallo
Is that true? Greeks were not allowed to own property, in the US?
@sardonicsmile @MadrePappagallo Not that Greeks weren't allowed, but that houses' deeds prohibited owners from selling the house to Greeks. This is just a specific area that I know about because I spent time there. In different places, the targeted ethnicity could be something else.
@sardonicsmile
The actors he complained about are not white: they're Jews.
People really do get deceived by the enemy all the time...
@Zeb That may be, but the intent was to portray Europeans as the protagonist, with a good cause.
This is how storytelling and propaganda works
