The probable idea is that they are not representing a background that they share with their character, which there has been a push for recently.

however, there are also “colorblind” casts being done recently as well, so it’s one trend or another.

Also, it’s hollywood, you expect the majority of the cast to be from the country of production of a film.

  He has to really be able to control lightning too…
  
  Otherwise he’s “faking it”

  Valhalla isn’t a real place, how would you get an actor from there?

Do you really not see a difference between ethnicity and nationality?

To you, those are the same?

  I’m not saying any of the things I said are good,bad or things I agree with. It is what it is, and that’s what I’m pointing out.

Do you normally engage in this sort of prescriptive logic?

  What, explaining the reason why things happen to people who are oblivious as to what is happening? I’m not saying any of the things I said are good,bad or things I agree with. It is what it is, and that’s what I’m pointing out.

    Exactly. The majority of the actors of any movie will be Pedro Pascal.

    That the majority of the inhabitants of a country are from that country? Forever.
    
    I’m a serial immigrant, and I have always expected the majority of people I interact to be natives. And since you guys seem to be rabidly trying to interpret me as some bigot, by expect I mean my percieved idea of what will happen, not what my aspiration is.
