300 was based off the Spartans from Greece, not Rome.

Who wrote this BTW. Lyrics are awful.

....unless one's adopted or a half-sibling or fuck maybe the bitch an albino, whatever who cares, its basically a damn palette swap that you can easily explain away with one family photo or line of dialogue. it doesn't change anything substantive about the character.
btw: does this Irish dude and this half-mexican bish look like full siblings to you?
Whenever they cast Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, or even Jennifer Lopez in films now, it's due to their "racially ambiguous" looks (meaning white filmgoers can readily identify with the character they're portraying).
This is nothing new, since it goes back to the days of Rita Hayworth, Raquel Welch, and several others whose names escape me.

So why do y'all act like that on shit like Avatar or the Prince of Persia being white washed? They just fictional characters right? I get what you saying, but I think cats on the IC would be pissed if they had Robb Stark playing T'Challa right?
I see it as a difference.
Americanized doesn't mean "white only." That's what Hollywood executives try to sell repeatedly, whether it's adaptations of other people's fictional work, or historical characters.

Hollywood has a lengthy history of "repackaging" or outright "replacing" people of color to appeal to what they believe white moviegoers want to see.
