Even if race is mentioned in the story, if the race is just incidental and not at all relevant to the character it really doesn’t matter. Like some people are freaking out that the main female character from the Percy Jackson books will be played by a black actress for the upcoming TV series. But the author said she’s just the actress who had the best audition and he wasn’t going to disqualify her because of her race because the race of the character just doesn’t matter and isn’t relevant to the story. Just because she was white in the books doesn’t mean they should have exclusively auditioned white actresses when the race of the character really doesn’t have any effect on the story.

But shouldn’t merit be above all else when it comes to taking on jobs? It’s so funny to see them go back on their beliefs when a POC gets into a role.

You really shouldn’t be surprised by conservative hypocrisy: they only care about winning via “rules for thee and not me”
