Why did Charleston Heston play Moses in the 10 Commandments? Not only that, almost the entire cast where White and passing off as Egyptians and the Ancient Israelites. Teach your children that, too! Teach them how in Sci- Fi White people are always in the forefront in discovering and conquering other things.
Now when non-Whites play certain roles such as a Greek goddess our underwear gets all knotted up. Where were you when roles such as Cleopatra was played by a White woman?
This just shows how narrow-minded a particular race of people are.
What is good for the goose is not good for the gander as far as they are concerned.
Besides, it is foolish. This is just a movie. Yet, you would instruct your children from it?
Wow!!!!

commensense you are an idiot…
It is a film, get over it. Also, the book is set in America, where the Gods live. Read the books, it says gods move to different cites through different ages, america is a multi cultural place and god can change the way they look.
Also all of that is irrelivant. White people frequently play other races, and by the way i am white, and no body complains. She is a good actress so learn some basic understand of society. Also your name amuses me, so stupid
Why is a Latina actress playing a GREEK goddess? This is unrealistic and an insult to Greek heritage. Google "persephone". The classic images of her did not look like Rosario Dawson. I am outraged at the thought of non-blacks playing blacks, non Native Americans playing Native Americans, etc. It's just not right. And now at a non Greek hijacking the classic tale of the great Persephone. Unbelievable. I'll be teaching my children that she is NOT representative of Persephone. Respect other race's cultures! A Greek playing a Latina instead of a Latina would be just as stupid. This is not a celebration of Greek and Roman culture, it is a hijacking and disrespect of it!
