It's another example of the left's hypocrisy imo. They can't on one hand, complain about undermisrepresentation in film, complain now all the time when a minority is NOT played by a minority. Plus, they have to make every character a minority now, Little mermaid, etc. If it wasn't important why are they so loud about it? Probably because it does have an effect, even if subtle, on the narrative. And it's not even that subtle.
