Pretty incredible that Henry Brandon (The Searchers) warranted not a single mention, when he\’s easily one of the most egregious examples.

No mention of Depalma\’s Scarface? (I do love the film though).

Genuine question. Spanish people are caucasian, if Hispanic people are descended from them, what is the problem if they are played by Caucasian people? The US Census Board The U.S. Census Bureau defines the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.
in relation to ancient Egypt, it\’s not certain what ethnicity they were, (and the descendants of the Greek Ptolemys certainly weren\’t black African).

Chadwick Boseman deserves better? Because he is POC? He is already casted in a big MCU movie..but he seems to give the worst performance in this movie.. i would say Nikolaj Coster Waldau and Elodie Yung deserve better…but he is too blond and she is too Asian and they both grow up in Europe so who cares if they can actually act and deserve better roles.

It seems a bit unfair to pick on Alec Guinness and David Lean for \’Lawrence of Arabia\’ (in the early 1960s) but let them get away with the far more questionable \’A Passage to India\’ (in 1984!)

No Linda Hunt from "The Year of Living Dangerously"? It was a great performance but, let\’s face it, she played an Asian man. And won an Oscar for it.

Well done for just lifting everything in John Oliver\’s VT and passing it off as your own article. Quick, Playlist, there goes the bandwagon! Better run!

BOB, you are a deluded individual. Only people from Spain are "Spanish" and European. You can\’t really believe that just because they are Spanish that all Latinos can trace rheir ethnicity and lineage to Spain. That\’s just ridiculous. Egypt is in Africa. From a historical standpoint, our entire biblical perspective has been very carefully matriculated into a "white" lie. I personally don\’t think race is something that should even be in question when talking about historical accuracy. We have all been lied to for centuries. Do the teachings and sacrifice of one Jesus of Nazareth change because he\’s NOT the blue eyed, pale skinned, long straight haired European fellow that certain powers would have us believe?

The true story behind "The Impossible" (2012) happened to a Spanish family, and despite the fact that the director was Spanish, he still ended up with a whitewashed story, with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts.

I\’d say Johnny Depp as Tonto is the worst in recent memory. Indigenous characters and actors seem to get shafted the worst with this sort of thing.

Is Kirk Lazarus ever going to come out\’ve retirement? He could always play James Rhodes when Don Cheadle tires of the role.
