One more thing about the white-only casting in films about historical events:
This country has historically kept a boot on Black, Brown & Indigenous People. They’ve hidden their contributions. Books & teachings are currently being banned in racist-led school systems.

Many in this country want the POC who did great things to remain hidden.
Why? Because it continues the MYTH of white supremacy.
So miss me w/the “The casting is historically accurate” mess. MAYBE you should tell the story from the perspective of the #HiddenFigures

There’s ALWAYS a way to diversify a project so that everyone gets a chance to SEE themselves & every talented actor gets a chance to play…yknow, if diversity is a goal.
We see all too often that that is NOT a goal.
I’ll CONTINUE to call it out. As Tab says #ThatsMyBusiness
