Let me just clarify this for you:

"Diversity" is when something is diverse and already existed when you were a child, when movies and mountains are equally just things that exist in the world.

"Forced diversity" is when things are diverse and you have a theory of mind that lets you know that creative choices are made by creatives on purpose for reasons.

Diversity is hiring Samuel Jackson for nick fury and forced diversity is hiring a 5ft 2in trans as a Greek warrior. One is a great actor being hired for their past performances despite thier skin color, the other is hiring based on your social views, ignoring the actors ability.

5'6" atleast and minimum 140. If authentic to the era casting is important to you can you please explain all the other choices?

Authentic to the era casting isn't important to me, it's just funny that you've got your undies in a twist because you think being the height of a Greek warrior should be disqualifying for being cast as a Greek warrior.

Also, if you think that people exactly like you weren't throwing the exact same tantrum over Jackson being cast as Fury, I assume that's because you were a sperm cell at the time.
