I agree with this sentiment fully. While it is nice to see the fresh face of a non-white actor/actress in a film, I don't have any qualms if a well-known white actor/actress plays a non-white part and does it justice. The same can be said for the reverse argument (such as Sam L. Jackson as Nick Fury or Black Ford Prefect). However, what I cannot stand is the blatant "tokenising" of characters because PC or SJW or whatever nonsense they dream up. See Black Sherlock Holmes (created by Karl Bollers, whom all you lovely people from A-A-S on DeviantArt know well of) or Idris Elba being a favourite to be the next Bond. I exclude really old films that had white actors as non-white characters (why should it be held to our "ever-so-enlightened" moral code?) and satirical films (because what colour the actors' skins are should not be your main concern).

Ooh, I've got to get in on this. For the record: XBL: ShaunOfTheN00bs (don't expect me to pick up to XB messages much, I haven't used my 360 since I played Brütal Legend. Then again, I might...) Steam: ShaunOfTheN00bs (where I'm at most of the time. If you're ever online, give me a shout if you're thinking about TF2 or Payday 2 - although these aren't the only 2 games I have. Caution: do not suggest Comp matchmaking on TF2; I get saltier than the Dead Sea on that sometimes) PSN: coming soon (as soon as I get a jerb, my first cheque is going towards a PS4)
