Why are people assuming she's going to be black? They are looking for Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic. Everyone's just focusing on the "black" part.

There was a rumour about a casting call for a Netflix show. The character & show werent named.

People are assuming its the Witcher show and the character is Ciri.

All hell is broken loose

This is sad, because it's true that many of the nerds up in arms about the idea of this character being Black would have no problem with her being Asian instead.

what the fuck? where are you parroting this ridiculous verbal diarrhea from? there was no "rumor", it was a leaked casting call directly from the casting agency, and it was specifically for The Witcher and specifically for Ciri, and specifically for non-white actresses only. where the fuck do you get off trying to spin such a fucking ridiculous and untrue bias on this?


Whoa guy calm down

I don't know

It's not an issue of race per se for me but more that I don't want something as basic as characters' appearances being fucked up

it wasn't leaked

it was on the casting agency's website

BAME does not specifically exclude all white people

the showrunner already said she wasn't going to change the race of characters, just that minorities were going to be in a fantasy show that spans an entire continent

calm down

He's lanky and alienish-looking, for one. And I mean in a way unrecognizable to the game's model.

It's not a big deal if it happens, but it's also a stupid choice if it happens. There can be a major show cast entirely with white people. There can be a show cast entirely with black people. It shouldn't matter. Arbitrarily changing character races to fit an agenda helps nothing. It's not going to ruin anyone's life, but it's a dumb trend that should stop.

yes it does


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_ethnicity_in_the_United_Kingdom

"minority ethnic" seems to imply non-welsh/scottish/irish are included while the ONS census includes polish under scottish ethnicity for some reason. we don't really know if the casting website used BAME correctly to say for sure "no whites"

the showrunner has said a lot of bullshit that isn't true. like her tweets claiming that Sapowski likes her take on the material and is a part of the creative team, when his official statement tells the complete opposite story:

http://boundingintocomics.com/2018/09/12/the-witcher-saga-writer-andrzej-sapkowski-confirms-he-has-no-creative-involvement-in-netflix-series/


that interview with sapkowski is from december 2017 while the showrunner's tweets are from may 2018.
