My issue is that we are pairing nationality with skin color or ethnicity here. Those are not mutually exclusive. There are 2nd or 3rd generation Asians immigrants in Mexico, just as there are Mexicans living in Ireland, and Irish people in India, etc.. Somebody could be a fully integrated national but not part if the nations major ethnicity. Even saying AFRICAN-American is kind of pointless, like it matters where your grand-grand-grand-grand-parents came from. They're as much American as anybody else. We don't call everybody else European-American for comparison.

People reference white Americans as "Americans of European descent" very regularly.

Tbh I'm perfectly fine with other races picking up any roles, except for historical movies.

Another thing on historical movies that irk me to no end is the perfect posh English for every effing Roman or Greek movies
