The Doctor Who casting row has exposed the hypocrisy of the woke Left
If the tables were turned, and a white actor was cast to play a
non-white historical character, high-minded progressives would be
up in arms

Nathaniel Curtis appeared as Isaac Newton in Doctor Who
I don’t know how many viewers still enjoy Doctor Who. But I’m >>> sure its producers do. More and more, the show feels like a deeply
self-satisfied exercise in Left-wing trolling. You can just picture
its producers squealing with glee, as they compete to think of ways
to wind up stuffy old Tories.
“How about we get an alien to state its preferred pronouns! The

triggered!â€
But the thing that delighted the producers most of all, I imagine,
was a certain piece of casting. Isaac Newton was white. Yet, in
last Saturday’s Doctor Who, the actor cast to play him was
Nathaniel Curtis – who is mixed-race.
Ever since, Left-wing media outlets have been in their element.
“Doctor Who Upsets Conservatives as Isaac Newton Played by Person
of Colour,†chortled a typical headline. The Poke, a British
satirical website, had great fun mocking anyone who objected. Just
look at these silly gammon! Doctor Who is a work of fiction, not a
documentary! It isn’t meant to be realistic!
True enough. I can’t help feeling, though, that these Left-wing
outlets are missing the point. The problem is not the casting.
It’s the hypocrisy. Because if the tables were turned, and a
white actor were cast to play a non-white historical character,
high-minded progressives would not be giggling at anyone who
complained. Far from it. They’d be apoplectically denouncing it
as a racist whitewashing of history.
Of course, I can’t strictly prove that, because these days there
isn’t a chance in hell that a white actor would be cast as a
non-white historical figure. It used to happen: for example, in the
1956 film The Conqueror, when John Wayne played the Mongol emperor
Genghis Khan. And, that same year, in The Ten Commandments, when
Yul Brynner played the Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II.
Today, though, no sane director would dare do such a thing. In our

The failing racist woke retards defend using racism themselves while
claiming that those who speak out against racism are racists, thus
proving the headline to be true. Hypocrites!

At that time he was known, at least PROFESSIONAL, as 'Ben Kingsley'!!
How could 'they'?!?!
Because he was Indian himself and had to put on brownface in order to
make his portrayal look convincing.
SAY WHAT?? An Indian had to put on 'brownface' to make himself look Indian!!
Really??

Still a non-White Newton?
Yes, why not, asswipe?? I mean 'they' cast a Whitee (Ben Kingsley) as
Gandhi back in 1982!! "What's good for the Goose is good for the
Gander"!!
You mean they cast Krishna Pandit Bhanji as Gandhi.

Yes.

Of course.
Contrary to what the woke racists and bigots want you to believe, skin
colour in India varies from light skinned which is almost
indistinguishable from Mediterranean (think Greek colonies set up by >Alexander the Great and Persian and Islamic immigration) to very dark
skinned which is blacker than the darkest black people from Africa who
and was known to Herodotus who called them Indian Aethiopians.
Of course Krishna Pandit Bhanji had to put on brownface and sit under
the sun lamp to play Gandhi. It would have been completely inauthentic
if he hadn't. Even Johnny Depp put on brown face to play Captain Jack
Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean (at least that's what it looked like
to me given he was wearing dreadlocks as well to look mixed race) and
Tonto in The Lone Ranger, both of which were made by Woke Disney.
See the actors and movies listed below. >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownface
And left me point out to the degenerate hypocritical woke racists and
bigots, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing brownface,
blackface, yellowface, oliveface, or even whiteface to look like a
character you are playing. Even black actor Lenny Henry put on whiteface
in True Identity and Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall wore whiteface in
Coming to America and Coming2America.

Trudeau never broke any law by wearing blackface just like Prince
Harry didn't break any law dressing up as a Nazi. The difference
between them is one of them is a woke hypocrite.

Well, he's half-Indian and his real name isn't Ben Kingsley...
Born in England of Indian parents, lets say ....
Born Krishna Pandit Bhanji
So, half-Indian and his real name isn't Ben Kingsley then... ;-)
Now you got it!

Yes. I'd consider TV shows to be entertainment media... but I
wouldn't start a fight over it either way.

Yes, why not? In everyday usage，we use the word media to describe
not only physical mediums that carry content, but also the sources of
that content.
