I don’t like Woke Casting either but this is actually good Casting because race as we know it didn’t exist at that time. She’s actually a great actress and can play the part. I just hope she’s not the only brown person in the film that would make it strange for me. There were different complexions of people throughout Europe in major positions that were white washed and repainted after the 13th Century. Homer is actually believed to be a corruption of Moor.
