Is he really Brave though?
Well, he quite loudly declared he wasn’t against genocide, not through words but through actions.
Nah. It’s one of those rare instances of sarcastic casting
adaption
Close but more accurate would be if the Netflix adaptation was Zendaya

Cool, coolcoolcool, now where’s the graphic with the IRL non-white people cast with whites.
Because you wouldn’t be trying to peddle cherrypicked racist horseshit, noooo not your fragile ass.
You may kiss my lilywhite one.
Big White Fragility energy 🙄
A decade ago I watched Lawrence Fishburne play Jack Crawford in Hannibal, and it didn’t bother me that Lawrence Fishburne was not white because I had no frame of reference.
Later I found out he was supposed to be based off a real FBI profiler who was white, and was depicted by white actors in the standalone films.
It still didn’t bother me. I think some of the reason was because Lawrence Fishburne’s version of Jack Crawford was my entry point, and he killed it in that role.
But most of the reason was because it didn’t feel forced. He didn’t feel like he NEEDED to be black, he just was.
The same cannot be said of other roles. I don’t care if Ariel is black, because I don’t give a shit about movies for little girls, but the fact that Disney deliberately makes these choices, knowing it will piss people off, is what pisses me off.
The dumbest choice yet was giving Snow White to someone who doesn’t look like porcelain doll. They knew what they were doing, and it feels so forced.
Tell me you’re racist without telling me you’re racist
Yeah. I think people are downvoting you because they haven’t noticed that the examples are all of characters made less white, completely ignoring that the opposite is several times more common across all Western entertainment.
