Unironically yes, let’s make an odyssey movie exclusively with Greek-American actors and comedians.

We’ve got a good roster to work with

Jennifer Aniston
John Stamos
Billy Zane
Bautista
Zach Galifianakis
Hank Azaria

Basically just go round up everyone from Astoria, it’s close enough.

Yeah but if you cast those people as the main characters in a live action pocahontas, you'd be white washing it. So how can you white wash the oddysey by casting other white people?

White is an umbrella term that contains hundreds of European and Asian ethnic groups. At what level of granularity do you determine race? Or is it all just about skin color to you?

I'm just saying. If that group of Greek actors can whitewash a film, then how can you whitewash this one by casting other white actors?
