It seems reasonable for someone (not necessarily white) who cherishes historical accuracy to object to a coal-black African actress playing lily-white Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII, in a television drama.

But, no, to wonder about the point of this egregious case of race-swapping is to trigger howls of racism. Even worse, to suspect the purpose of white replacement and erasure is to send the white-haters into paroxysms of rage. How dare you object to our racism?

Alas, colourblind casting and race-swapping are de rigeur in the movie and television industry, particularly under the direction of a female.
