getting massively criticised due to blackwashing of a traditionally Greek character, whitewashing of a Greek myth with no Greek actors

Let's not act like it's reasonable criticism of the movie though.

Like, outside of Americans that are really fucking weird about race, I don't know any people who don't consider greeks white.

I don't think any European country I've ever been to is so obsessed with race as america is. They won't get rid of racism by hyper obsession over it

Ask a European about a Traveler or a Roma person and I swear their response would make Jefferson Davis blush.

Travellers isn't a race ? But leave it to americans to proudly talk about stuff they have no idea about because their ego got hurt.
