This is hilarious. How many white actors played roles where the character was actually a person of color? Wanna start with Jesus?

You obviously didn’t read or did but didn’t understand the phrase White-armed Helen” (or “white-armed” women generally). This is an epithet used in many English translations of Homer. The Greek word (leukōlenos) literally means “white-armed” or “fair-armed.” It refers to light or radiant skin, especially on the arms, and is a poetic convention associated with noble women.
* Helen is also described as beautiful, graceful, and “like a goddess.”
It’s important to note that:
* Ancient Greeks did not divide people into races using the same categories (such as “White,” “Black,” “Asian,” etc.) that are common today.
* Descriptions like “white-armed” were poetic and often contrasted with tanned skin from outdoor labor. They were associated with beauty, status, and femininity rather than with a modern racial identity.

Lupita and Diane Kruger are equally far from being Greek lmao. Also a black woman played Helen of Troy before Troy as well. Troy is also just not a good film

Wasn't Helen the daughter of Zeus born from a clam shell or something? Meaning she isn't even human much less Greek or Trojan. So being a completely mystical creature. Literally anyone can be cast and hopefully just play the part well.
