Trying to co-opt everything that they had no part in is one of the reasons racism persists. It's bad enough that they push to reassign the race of fictional characters who were written as white [James Bond], but doing so with historic people is pushing too far.

Really!!!!! To silly for words. Glenn Close should now be cast as Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks. How do you think that farce would go over? Sorry, I still can't stop laughing

She is literally the worst actress I've seen in any period set series, even terrible Charlotte Hope seems like Oscar winner next to this one.
