There is no question that Hollywood has, over the course of film history, made some very poor casting choices. May times it takes the form of decidedly white actors playing decidedly non-white characters. This goes back decades; John Wayne as Genghis Kahn is an easy example. In such cases, the criticism is well-earned. But… with the advent of the Internet, casting aspersions for casting choices has become all too easy, and more and more misplaced. And yes, a good portion of it these days is deeply rooted in racism.
