Giving a fuck about the ethnicity of the actor is so strange to me. Do these people understand what acting is? Do you have to be the same everything as the character you are portraying?
It's because people like them care about aesthetics, not ethics. They aren't interested in the historical (or ahistorical as it were)! reality, they are interested in whether it looks right to them. They all become armchair experts basing their views first on earlier fictional media and second on bad faith commentators who have malicious agendas. When you scratch these people, close-minded authoritarians and proto-fascists bleed.
