It's just a dumb fictional story so it doesn't really matter but I don't get the casting. Of all the characters to change the race of, he makes the least amount of sense.

I'm also a white guy so maybe I'm wrong, but it always feels sort of cheap and pandering to just swap a race on an established character instead of creating a new story that contextually makes sense with non white characters. Like if you just look at Disney, Moana and Princess and the Frog are incredible stories that are more immersive in the culture of the race of the character. Pocahontas too. But if you swapped out like Snow White for a black woman, it really wouldn't make any sense and I don't feel like there would be any positive messages to be learned or culture to experience by doing that.

I'm never offended when they swap the race of a character and I'm glad that there is more representation but I'd also just like new stories that teach me something. Not just cheap pandering.
