Is it lazy writing to cast black actors as hobbits? A black Hermione on stage? A black Anne Boleyn? If it really doesn’t matter, then why do we wind up having the word for word same conversation every single time? A black Vulcan was tokenism when Viyager did it. A black actor playing an elf was tokenism. Every single time we cast anyone with an excess of melanin, it’s automatically described as tokenism. Makes the conversation really hard.</blockquote>
