      It’s really jarring in historical dramas to see things like an ‚ethnically diverse‘ royal court. I love diversity in sci-fi, but in historical dramas it just feels…wrong. Like they’re covering over the racism of the past.

      „Go back to the fair way, where you cast people whose parents work for BBC!“

      Diversity being „superimposed“ on a story? They should count their lucky stars that an actor a brilliant as David Jonsson gets to be on our screens.

      A lot of it feels like pastel progressivism. It assuages people’s feelings of ‚white liberal guilt‘ by building a post-racial fantasy where they can engage in historical dramas and enjoy the glamour of it; without having to deal with or explore the complexities of the systemic, often brutal racism that came with it.

      Bridgerton was brilliant. Why are people acting like not enough white people are on TV. I’m tired of people not being able to suspend belief. I’ve seen women playing men and vice versa-doesn’t quite have the same culture war pull though does it. Doesn’t quite rankle those racist taste buds like this type of shit. The Telegraph is a shit rag for shit rag people.

      EdiT; I just realised you lot are the same ones who wet your fronts about Marvel characters, Harry Potter or the Little Mermaid. All men just whining about stupid shit because …ughhh Racism.

      Dickheads.

      Interesting. I watched „The Great“ and thought the actors of colour were amazing in their roles, and never assumed it was an attempt to rewrite history in any way.. . Elle Fanning is an American actress and you would never go „that’s not accurate, America wasn’t even a country then!“.

      I do have to say, it is a bit jarring when I’m watching a British show/movie and there’s just randomly a black guy in a random role, gets a scene, always sounds obviously like a white person wrote the dialogue for a white person but then slapped an actor of colour in there, and then disappears, often in a historical period where it makes no sense. (This sounds horrendously racist but if you’ve watched recent British content, you know what I mean, it just feels kind of off?)

      I know this happens because to be nominated for the BAFTAs they have to hit [diversity criteria](https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-introduces-new-diversity-requirement-to-film-awards/) but there’s got to be a more natural way to do it than shoehorning someone in
