Why have black actress casting for Juliet?

I learned from school that Romeo and Juliet are white caucasians. Now they're making a movie with a black actress casting for Juliet. This is making things confusing. It's like making a movie about Obama but having a white person cast Obama. This just doesn't make any sense. Pls stop.

Because it’s their money and they can do it. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Why are you getting triggered ? It shows more about you than them

If people don’t watch it they won’t make it. Simple but if people watch it they will make it

Why would anyone over the age of 12 be confused about a fictional character??

Name 1 Black character that has been recast with a White actor.

It’s not a competition buddy. White people don’t need this kind of a movement because bias works for them whereas for black people bias works against them. Is it so hard to understand ? Can you imagine being black kid in elementary school and fellow kids call you dark monster?

Makes their romance feel more taboo?

There’s many versions with a white cast. Watch one of those

Does skin color make a difference for the story? No? then who gives a shit.

Romeo and Juliet is about forbidden love. So they need to make that look like forbidden love. Black and poor with white and rich does that. Or do you want a Muslim and a bunch of fatwas ?

My biggest issue is that she's ugly as fuck. I can support any race as anything as long as they aren't fat and ugly, I can look in the mirror and save the money.

Well put YOUR picture up…. Who is to say that the fictional character Juliette is supposed to be pretty. Which is super subjective….And the actress portraying Juliette is not ugly at all….

Just wondering, did in the original play, Shakespeare write she was Caucasian?

No. Just that they were both bourgeoisie.
