There's a Japanese movie about a modern architect ending up in ancient Rome, and the actors in that Japanese film are all Japanese

Likewise, if like some theater group in Africa casts all native actors for a performance of a Shakespeare play, I don't believe anyone would complain about that, just as nobody would complain about English actors playing the Italian characters in Romeo and Juliet

But when an American production casts American actors to play these ancient Greek characters, everyone gets up in arms and cried "but that's not accurate!"

Trojan War was probably based on real war that got exaggerated over time through oral tradition.

But Helen was almost certainly a mythical figure though. No way Greeks are going to start a long costly war over one woman. The war was likely over trade control. Troy was located in strategically important area.

I wouldn't care about race either if everyone I saw and interacted with every day of my life was the same race as me, retard. Ancient Greeks didn't have to deal with (((fellow Greeks))) using their tax dollars to flood their communities with Pajeets and Pablos and Tyrones and Changs while also teaching them to hate Greeks and blame them for every problem in their life and passing laws to give these groups advantages at the expense of Greeks.

They weren’t looking at it from a biological racial-purity lens. That was created by Europeans in, like, the fucking 1800s. They would’ve looked at it through a cultural lens, which is a completely different thing that you’re projecting onto them. They cared about whether you were culturally Greek, whether you spoke the langauge ect

I'd tell you to stop hitting the Black Athena, but I sincerely doubt that you've read a book in your entire life.
The delusion that the Greeks were a collection of racially diverse kumbaya people who just wanted to sit down and hold hands is thoroughly dispelled by looking at the paranoia with which the native Egyptians were viewed by Greek settlers during the Ptolemaic period. A group of people who institute an apartheid state are not devoid of negative views of other races.

Yeah faggot that's actually correct.Their whole worldview wasn't built on modern racial purity or skin-color obsession like some Anglo 19th-century invention. They cared about culture, language, citizenship, and being Greek
>The delusion that the Greeks were a collection of racially diverse kumbaya people who just wanted to sit down and hold hands

>They weren’t looking at it from a biological racial-purity lens
They didn't have to because the average Greek rarely, if ever, encountered people who were not biologically European. They may encounter or have interactions with the transient merchant or trader from Africa or Arabia from time to time but the idea that they would consider these foreigners as equal to themselves or would integrate them into their society is ridiculous. Athenians and Spartans believed themselves to be superior to one another, do you honestly believe the Greeks would view people who looked radically different from themselves from radically different cultures as their equals?
>>
>>220549020
>They cared about culture, language, citizenship, and being Greek
I like how you began with modern 'being X is just culture, language, and paper' but then threw in 'being Greek' to throw off the scent. You clearly are not familiar with Greeks or their view of race. They coined the term European, knew their kinship with other Europeans due to a shared steppe ancestry which gave them their gods.

I like how you cite zero evidence that these guys would be freaking out if an actor wasn’t ethnically Greek.

Plenty of non-ethnic Greeks were Hellenized, like Lucian of Samosata and Manetho. The Artists of Dionysus operated across the Greek-speaking world, including places like Egypt, Syria, and Asia Minor. You’re just projecting modern views onto them. Cite evidence or shut the fuck up

The only reason the casting is so bad is because they purposely want this movie to be the most extreme caricature of a dei wokeslop turd to feed the culture war, it's purposely done to antagonize and humiliate society
It's hollywood's fault for being racist and not finding movies that make sense for lupita and zendaya to star in

On a side note if you did want to cast blacks in anything Greek or Egyptian the only ones they knew about in that period were Ethiopians, maybe some Sudanese. Subsaharan west Africa wasn't contacted by the outside world until the Arabs showed up around 800 AD and promptly enslaved them.

Of course the same Hollywood people patting themselves on the back for casting a subsaharan black Helen of Troy also don't seem to care what type of Africans they're casting. Guess they figure they think they all look alike.

If a Persian learned Greek, practiced Greek customs, worshiped Greek gods, etc the ancient Greeks still would've considered him a Persian, rather than a Greek. They also likely would have thought that he was a weirdo.
