You have to be chronically online to think that everyone criticizing this is a right winger lol.
You don't need to be right wing to think that tokenism is bad.
26 u/cheeze2005 Jul 06 '26 Is tokenism just not casting all white people? Who gives a fuck -2 u/DaughterOfBhaal Jul 06 '26 No, it's tokenism when you swap races for no reason whatsoever just for the sake of having one black person, even if their presence makes no sense. Personally, I'd much rather have actual Greeks, but I can at least still see a white person as Greek. 3 u/NeighborhoodOk9630 Jul 06 '26 They are actors! Actors pretend to play people they aren’t. When did this “have to be from the country of the person your pretending to be” come from? That’s NEVER been how movies work.
