This is too true!
There have been umpteen bajillion historical fiction stories that included white people in places we knew they weren't, people speaking languages and eating foods that didn't exist in the regions depicted onscreen, and why are Roman historical characters always depicted with British accents? And yet, not one peep out of these same people who are so upset about a Black or Brown face showing up in fantasy stories that involve mermaids, elves, and dragons!
Why don't they just say they hate Black people and go!
