Actually reading that article you linked it doesn't seem that debated and there isn't really any evidence of her being black.
You're right, based on that article. It doesn't matter, I'm just pointing out that it wasn't just a random choice to make her black. I'd argue they should have made her Iranian to be more accurate, but the claim is that people are randomly just changing skin colors in documentaries all willy nilly and so far the only example is a weak one.
Yeah you're right, it's one of those small complaints that's gonna always come from a small group of people. It's just media; people get so nuts about this site like everything should always cater to them...
Gets weaponised too I've seen people try to link this bullshit to "wokeism." As if that's the fucking problem with Hollywood.
