A Question Of Accuracy

Dear people on the internets who bitch about “historical accuracy” whenever a non-white actor shows up in a historical/medieval show/film and then go all sadface at being called racists:

Even assuming your idealised, purist, Eurocentric-and-certainly-not-multicultural version of history were correct (which, by the way, it isn’t), why is historical accuracy in a fictional narrative more important than creating more jobs, acceptance of and visibility for POC actors in an appallingly whitewashed industry?

Oh, right: IT’S NOT.
