Cleopatra's show on Netflix has caused a lot of indignation in Egypt and a lot of stupid comments from Mexican intolerants. But do you know something about #whitewashing on TV and Cinema? Check this thread out!
People are angry against Netflix because they want to see a real Macedonian from -30 BCE on TV. In their mind, Elizabeth Taylor, an Anglosaxon British American actress, is a perfect depiction. Who knows why!
Here I will show that depicting a brown/black/yellow character as a white/blond person is acceptable (most of the time), but the other way around, it is not.

#Nazi-whitewashing is running wild.

Here, the "Black Sun" (Sonnenrad) being openly paraded before millions:

2/
"But is an old Hindu symbol"
Is NOT
But even “if” what matters is that the Black Sun is used today by neo #Nazi and #Satanist cults (like O9A)
For them the Black Sun represents the 666 number (6 times the double SS sig rune), linked with the “baphomet” concept.

As @PelmeniPusha wrote "Guess where you could buy a cup of NaZZi coffee? If you guessed #Ukraine, you were RIGHT!"
Not only that, this coffeeshop is located in a former synagogue. (Chernivtsi, Synagogue St. 31)

Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Twitteralgorithmus ist oder einfach das fehlende Interesse an diesem Thema. In regelmäßigen Abständen kommen (auch oft von mir) Cover-Vergleiche.

Dit kenn wa schon allet. Wozu n Aufschrei?
Außerdem gibbet ja schon Cover mit Schwarzen druf, genügt doch.
Und während die Cover mit Schwarzen Personen aufgezählt werden, scheint außer Acht gelassen zu werden, dass es sich bei diesen Titeln um #afrofuturism handelt. Afrozentrische Geschichten mit regionalen Folktales und/oder Historie. Da wäre es wirklich etwas seltsam, #whitewashing
zu betreiben.

Außerdem kann man auf diese Art dem Buch einem Stempel aufdrücken. Zack, das ist dieses Afrozeug. Kommt neben den Aufsteller mit Herkunfts-Struggel-Storys und kulturelle trauma porn? Während "normale" Bücher "normale" Cover bekommen?

殆どのキャストが有色人種なのに主人公だけが白人だったり、ピンチになると白人キャラがさっそうと救ってくれる現象をハリウッドでは「White Savior(白人の救世主)」と呼び、近年批判の対象になっています。「ラストサムライ」や「アウトサイダー」などが顕著な例です。
一方、原作では有色人種だったはずのキャラを白人に変えたり、メイクで無理やりアジア人を演ずるのは「#Whitewashing(白塗り)」と呼ばれていて、猛烈な批判の対象になります。「ドラゴンボール」「攻殻機動隊」などがそれです。
それから近年、ストレート(cis)の俳優がゲイの役を演ずると過剰に評価される傾向(「体当たり演技」「難しい役に挑戦」)と、反対にゲイの俳優はストレートの役を演じさせて貰えない不公平な現状に対し、批判の声が強くなってきています。※cis= cisgender(シスジェンダー)
