OK this needs to stop.
Anne Boleyn the last time i checked wasn't black. And i have no issue per se this actress playing the part, but, and an important but, don't start calling people racist when they point out the difference in appearance when attempting to recreate the story (ie skin colour).

Thats unless its now ok for a white man to play Nelson Mandela or other iconic Black iconic figures, imagine the outrage, and imagine not once would those people be called racist for pointing it out.
Sorry i am all for a fair playing field i don't condone racism in any form BUT i also i don't condone the use of the term 'racist' to manipulate or silence voices of objection when it's perfectly fair to do so.
I wonder how long before the actress leading in TV series will be taken as historical 'Fact' rather than an inaccuracy? Particularly with the reduction in History (Humanities) teaching in schools nowadays.
