    Do you have a problem with all the films where Jesus, Moses etc are played by white actors?

    Of course she is not factual wrong but her tone was racist.

    Had it been a white on black comment what would you said ?

    Meryl Streep played Thatcher in a film a bit back - that's an American playing a Brit. It's historically inaccurate. Is that ok?

    Gary Oldman is a disgrace. Putting on an American accent to play Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK. Totally historically inaccurate.

    And he's never actually killed anyone! Unbelievable! What were they thinking! Obscene.

    He did once play a little person in a film. The trailer is crazy, it's like a pisstake:

    If it’s factually accurate, it’s not racist.

    I’ve not heard the comment or know when it was or know the context.

    But given historical racist incidents from the royal family down the years, not just relating to Harry’s wife, it feels a valid comment to me.

    Hmm .
    Therefore by your own admission you have only recently seen the advert and have never seen the white footage that has caused the comments .
    Therefore how can you be so judgemental against people when basically you know f#ck all ?
