literally a social construct

But we lived by that social construct. You can't tell people to stop following that social construct it takes a lot for hard work to deconstruct it.

just skimming the topic but....this
why do people NOT want them to be black so bad

For me it isn't about if she is or isn't black. It is about being 100: adamant about it when we don't know the full story and taking Egyptian culture as 100% black.

People don't cry when people with pale skin are cast for, say, Ancient Greeks or Romans, despite the fact that, in the case of men, pale skin was seen as ugly

If this was a colorblind casting, I mean sure, go for it. However, the idea behind this docudrama is basically to tell people who are queens from Africa. To tell a history that a lot of people don't know about.
