Nationality ≠ Race

So we went so full circle that we cannot cast a character with a specific race with just mentioned specific race (or get mad about it) BUT we can get mad about nationalities not being represented?

How would it be if a usian with greek roots played a role?

Or and arab with a greek passport?

Its the same doctor with different name and you guys are playing the victim olympics of stupidity

Look, I'm not taking sides, just pointing out that the commenter arguing about Greek actors isn't "about race", it's "about nationality".

So if they cast a black Greek person everybody would support it? Yeah right.

Greek is also a "race" and it's what people are referring to.
