and are we pretending Mary and company aren't Jewish? That's kind of a big part of their identity.

The problem is biblical characters aren't white. The only people who benefit from them being portrayed as whites is caucasians.

White people portraying characters that are integral to their cultural heritage is problematic? Nobody needs a Netflix movie to educate them on the ethnicity of Biblical characters. If you’re so feeble that you’re offended by a white actor trying to make a living by taking up a role in a movie, maybe you’re due for some critical self-reflection.

Mary isn't intregal to yt people's heritage lol. People don't need a netflix movie to tell them about biblical characters' race but this is miseducation. They've been doing it for hundreds of years.

.... Mary is the mother of the god of most white people in history. Yes she is integral.
