Look, we don't need another blonde white woman playing someone from China or Africa, but I've got to admit, this knee-jerk pile-on when some actor doesn't exactly align with the character they're playing is getting old.

Let's save it for when Jamie Oliver has another go at Asian food and fails again

I remember not so long ago when a film about Mary Queen of Scots was made and the actress playing Bess of Hardwick was Asian! A lot of fuss made them about the authenticity but in reality very few roles for people of colour in historical British films.
