The Doctor Who casting row has exposed the hypocrisy of the woke Left

If the tables were turned, and a white actor was cast to play a
non-white historical character, high-minded progressives would be up in arms

Nathaniel Curtis appeared as Isaac Newton in Doctor Who

I don’t know how many viewers still enjoy Doctor Who. But I’m sure its
producers do. More and more, the show feels like a deeply self-satisfied
exercise in Left-wing trolling. You can just picture its producers
squealing with glee, as they compete to think of ways to wind up stuffy
old Tories.

“How about we get an alien to state its preferred pronouns! The Mail
will be furious!” “And how about the Doctor meets Isaac Newton – and
develops a gay crush on him! They’ll be so triggered!”

But the thing that delighted the producers most of all, I imagine, was a
certain piece of casting. Isaac Newton was white. Yet, in last
Saturday’s Doctor Who, the actor cast to play him was Nathaniel Curtis –
who is mixed-race.

Ever since, Left-wing media outlets have been in their element. “Doctor
Who Upsets Conservatives as Isaac Newton Played by Person of Colour,”
chortled a typical headline. The Poke, a British satirical website, had
great fun mocking anyone who objected. Just look at these silly gammon!
Doctor Who is a work of fiction, not a documentary! It isn’t meant to be
realistic!

True enough. I can’t help feeling, though, that these Left-wing outlets
are missing the point. The problem is not the casting. It’s the
hypocrisy. Because if the tables were turned, and a white actor were
cast to play a non-white historical character, high-minded progressives
would not be giggling at anyone who complained. Far from it. They’d be
apoplectically denouncing it as a racist whitewashing of history.

Of course, I can’t strictly prove that, because these days there isn’t a
chance in hell that a white actor would be cast as a non-white
historical figure. It used to happen: for example, in the 1956 film The
Conqueror, when John Wayne played the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan. And,
that same year, in The Ten Commandments, when Yul Brynner played the
Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II.

Today, though, no sane director would dare do such a thing. In our
inclusive modern world, casting is meant to be “authentic”. And not just
when it comes to race. In 2018, Scarlett Johansson hastily withdrew from
a film after online outrage over her casting. The character she’d been
hired to play was trans – and therefore, raged her critics, the actor
must be trans, too.

Perhaps she should have seen the row coming. Three years earlier, Eddie
Redmayne had played a trans woman in The Danish Girl. His performance
won him an Oscar nomination. Subsequently, however, the uproar over this
piece of “inauthentic” casting grew to such a furious pitch that he
regretted ever agreeing to it. “I made that film with the best
intentions, but I think it was a mistake,” he whimpered, in 2021.

It’s not the only time he’s been in this type of trouble, either. In
2014, he was cast to play Stephen Hawking – even though Redmayne is
able-bodied. “We wouldn’t accept actors blacking up,” thundered a
columnist in The Guardian, “so why applaud ‘cripping up’?”

A perfectly fair question. But if, these days, we want casting to be
authentic, the rules must apply to every group. Which surely means, for
the sake of consistency, that white historical figures should be played
by white actors. And if they aren’t, we at least shouldn’t mock those
who think they should.

Still, there’s no point getting worked up about Doctor Who. After all,
it’s just a bit of light-hearted fun. Anyway, there’s another new
episode on Saturday, and it may yet surprise us all. Perhaps in this
one, the Doctor will travel back in time to meet Mary Seacole, played by
Keira Knightley. Or Muhammad Ali, played by Colin Firth.

A failing by once-respected newspaper resorts to clickbait rants
in a desperate attempt to grab a few more readers.

How have the mighty fallen...

Well, he's half-Indian and his real name isn't Ben Kingsley...

Trudeau never broke any law by wearing blackface just like Prince Harry
didn't break any law dressing up as a Nazi. The difference between them
is one of them is a woke hypocrite.

Yes.

Of course.

Contrary to what the woke racists and bigots want you to believe, skin
colour in India varies from light skinned which is almost
indistinguishable from Mediterranean (think Greek colonies set up by
Alexander the Great and Persian and Islamic immigration) to very dark
skinned which is blacker than the darkest black people from Africa who
and was known to Herodotus who called them Indian Aethiopians.

Of course Krishna Pandit Bhanji had to put on brownface and sit under
the sun lamp to play Gandhi. It would have been completely inauthentic
if he hadn't. Even Johnny Depp put on brown face to play Captain Jack
Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean (at least that's what it looked like
to me given he was wearing dreadlocks as well to look mixed race) and
Tonto in The Lone Ranger, both of which were made by Woke Disney.

See the actors and movies listed below.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownface

And left me point out to the degenerate hypocritical woke racists and
bigots, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing brownface,
blackface, yellowface, oliveface, or even whiteface to look like a
character you are playing. Even black actor Lenny Henry put on whiteface
in True Identity and Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall wore whiteface in
Coming to America and Coming2America.
