Your entire argument is "well for the last hundred or so years that Hollywood's been around, roles have been for white people. Elizabeth Taylor played cleopatra back then so what's the big deal?" you are basically saying that white people have been given more roles for as long as there've been movies so why change anything now.

White people cannot pass for Egyptians. Sorry not sorry. That's just Hollywood's need to whitewash everything.
It. Does. Not. Ever. Make. Sense. To. Cast. A. White. Person. In. The. Role. Of. A. Character. That. Is. Another. Race. For God's sake. It wouldn't make sense to cast a Mexican person in a Chinese role. So why just slot in a white person wherever you can? It's amazing because, cast a black girl as Annie, and white people lose their minds. Cast a white person in a role meant for a poc and suddenly we're sensitive about it by calling people out on it

The whole point of BET etc is because representation is important to us. It's because acknowledgement and recognition is important to us. But ask for it and it's like "how dare you, person of colour, you're so entitled, you have human rights now, what more do you need"
