This. I agree so much, I've been saying the same thing on this thread: Create new characters, don't replace already made ones for BS forced "diversity".

What is the problem with injecting diversity into a production? The Witcher would be almost entirely white basically by accident if they were going entirely based off the inspiration. This is exactly the sort of chance we should take advantage of where a story is set in a fantasy world and therefore allows us to buck trends and expand one's diversity. 

There's no reason not to diversify a movie like this. It's not like white roles are suddenly going to shrivel up or anything. This is one production where the color of the skin of the characters is totally irrelevant, and thus a perfect opportunity to add diversity. 

People really need to stop making a big deal out of this, it just makes you look insecure and/or racist. Why keep minorities down when you could be using this golden opportunity to spread the love? You chose to stick to white casting, you chose to be angry about the concept of a minority getting a spotlight, this is not something you have to do. you chose to be upset.
