  1. It is historically inaccurate and a travesty. This is typical BBC propaganda to make people think that blacks are indigenous to Britain. If a white actor played a 'black' part it would be all over the news.

    1. Thanks for your comment! However, I do think you’re going a bit far to consider her casting ‘propaganda to make people think that blacks are indigenous to Britain’. I highly doubt the casting of a biracial woman will convince anyone that the indigenous people of Britain are black. Most likely the casting was done in an attempt to appeal to a 'wider modern' audience. But I do see why it would upset some. I enjoy accurate casting especially when it involves actual people that have lived at one point or another.
      Thanks for stopping by the blog!
