I'm not trying to defend racism (god forbid), but there's no denying the double-standard either The argument I've seen (and honestly, it makes sense to me) is that the goal is to increase representation and replacing a black character with a white actor takes away representation thus defeating the purpose. Like, say a story has 10 characters; 9 white, 1 black. The studio adapting it for screen decides to raceswap one of the white characters. So in the adaptation, there is now 8 white characters and 2 black characters. Representation is increased. But if we were to be all "fair is fair" about it and say "then a black character must be replaced with a white actor to make up for it!", then recast the black character with a white actor, we end up with 9 white characters and 1 black character. Still. No representation is increased, status quo is kept. Or let's say there is no raceswapping of a white character but we still raceswap the black character. Now we have 10 white characters in the adaptation and 0 black characters. Representation is actually lost. So that's why it seems going white > black is okay but going black > white is not okay. The goal isn't really equality, only increasing representation. Does this help? --- https://imgur.com/vDci4hD <cite>Ivynn posted [p:950499375] in Mahershala...

He's a very dark skinned person, and very skinny, whereas Joel is a bit chubbier around the cheeks. I'd be willing to give him a shot as I gave MCD a shot as Kingpin and absolutely loved him.
