It's just odd. I don't mind a white washed movie that's based in England pre-New World

How did that non-white interracial couple make it without racism doing them off? They were white in the 60s adaptation and had a harder time then the modern-past couple

Unless the film is going for historical accuracy to a T, it's a moot point.

I like my immersion. Don't go around blurting lines and making me feel like I need to make a topic on a social board on a video game site. Go balls to the wall and pull a Hamilton

If black people in a movie ruins your immersion, I think it's time for a different hobby.

It depends on the context.

If you can do it in a way which fits the story or the time period, you're better for doing it. If it's something shoehorned in, or it completely flies in the face of history, you're better doing without it.

Liberals have to rewrite history though......so there's that.

Yeah because Lord of the Rings and other fantasy films are actual period pieces based on real history.
