So let's not pretend there wasn't backlash against Gods of Egypt |
Reading that made me feel like I dropped a few IQ points. It's both sad and hilarious how they think just because Egypt is in Africa that means the whole cast should be black. Of course, the truth is the ancient Egyptians would more resemble those from the Middle East. And then they do cast a black man and they are pissed because it's the "magical negro stereotype." Whatever the fuck that is. Sounds more like they made it up, looking for more ways to get outraged. So, for SJWs, all movies set in Africa, regardless of the true race of those that lived there, must have an all black cast. Oh, but don't cast a black person as someone who does magic, cause that's racist, too.
And one actually said that Egypt was never ruled by whites. Well, it was under Roman rule for few hundred years, so...
