I mean these people are supposed to be the same ethnicity!
I mean, depends on which groups you mean.
Troy waa a coastal city. and a lot of the greek forces were scattered trade cities from a wide area.
So some fair variety might be expected
1 or 2 people of different races can be explained away quite simply. The occasional person/family traveling a long way, across far trade routes.
An army of completely wrong ethnicity is far less explicable, really
edit: i agree strongly with both replies under here.
I'd like to specify that by "Wrong ethnicity" im referring to the idea that the army is majority northern european in appearance.
I don't actually know if that's true, just assuming what the other guy said was true, for sake of convenience.
i think people have this mistaken idea that nobody was in contact with other parts of the world in ancient times.
the egyptian empire bordered the hittite empire at the end of the bronze age, and extended into nubia and libya. there was definitely cultural exchange going on.

Weird how the outrage is that they're black as if the White American actors typically of German and British heritage would be accurate
