   It's Andy Pryor that's the racist not the viewers. He's nothing more   
   than a bigoted racist woke cancel pig just like Squealer in Animal Farm   
   that thinks the entire audience it completely stupid.

   So the two racist bigots conspired to conceal their racist casting for   
   as long as possible. Neither David Tennant of Catherine Tate were there   
   when the bigots filmed the racist scene either, but were added later via   
   CSO.

   You're the bigot and also a hypocrite you racist cancel pig.   
      
   Who's the one villainising minorities? It's racist cancel pigs like you   
   and Russel T. Davies who made the Celestial Toymaker put on   
   exaggerations of foreign European accents and justified that by saying   
   that this made the Toymaker look evil. So to the degenerate woke retard   
   all foreign accents are evil, especially German, French, and American   
   ones, just like the retard also thinks that all wheelchair users are evil.

   Well I'm from a minority, where's my representation you fucking   
   degenerate woke hypocrite. Ah, you fucking sick racist cancel pigs took   
   it away from me by making Cleopatra, a Greek olive skinned historical   
   figure black. You fucking disgusting cancel pigs also took it away from   
   me by turning my mathematically proven biological second cousin Achilles   
   into a west sub-Saharan black African too, and also did that to my   
   mathematically proven third cousin Aeneas, in Troy: Fall of a City,   
   instead of making one blonde as he was described historically, and one   
   olive skinned, you fucking racist bigots. Where's my representation you   
   hypocritical racist scum?   
      
   Where am I seeing myself on screen?   
      
   You didn't even bother to cast any Greek, Cypriot, or Mediterranean   
   looking actors in any of the leading roles, but race swapped half the   
   characters.   
      
   > lifeline for some people. That can make them feel part of the world, which

   Make them feel part of the world? What fucking degenerate world are you   
   living on. A world where Isaac Newton was Indian and Hannibal was black?   
      
   Where the representation for Tunisians when racist bigots such as   
   yourself cast Denzel Washington to play a Carthaginian general of west   
   Semitic decent, like all Tunisians, who originated from Lebanon, instead   
   of having him look like themselves, olive skinned with Mediterranean   
   features, not west sub-Saharan African.

   By taking representation way from people who are even more marginalized   
   you hypocritical woke racist cancel pig.

   Ah, so it is now clear that Retard T. Davies is only hiring gay people   
   to work on Doctor Who and they will even change the ethnically of   
   historical figures so that their gay friends can play them, even if they   
   look nothing like them. What do we call that? Nepotism!

   Except you do, because you've already done it to others.   
      
   How do you think Indian people feel about being told to identify with   
   Isaac Newton who they know was clearly not of Indian decent in any way   
   shape of form, and not a real Indian scientist like Subrahmanyan   
   Chandrasekhar who far surpassed Newton in his discoveries and won a   
   Nobel Prize? They probably all feel disgusted and demeaned by your   
   ignorant insulting patronization.
