This makes zero sense and you are just creating strawman arguments.
How exactly? If a company is adding Real Life elements into a show, at least be consistent and have sound reasons why. A black dwarf doesn't make sense in the same way a black human would.
For a start, you and I have no idea why they cast the actors they did. You seem to just be assuming they were picked only because they were black/for diversity and not because of their talent/fitness for the role.
"To reduce invisibility in entertainment, and where the story allows, we aim to include one character from each of the following categories for speaking roles of any size, and at minimum 50% of the total of these should be women: (1) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or gender non-conforming / non-binary; (2) person with a disability; and (3) three regionally underrepresented racial/ethnic/cultural groups (e.g. in the US, three of the following: Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Middle Eastern/North African, or Asian / Pacific Islander or Multi-Racial). A single character can fulfill one or more of these identities.
Most productions have a multitude of speaking roles, from leads to smaller roles. Where it doesn’t compromise the authenticity of the story, the minimum aspirational goals for casting across speaking roles are 30% white men, 30% white women and non-binary people, 20% men from underrepresented races and ethnicities, 20% women and non-binary people from underrepresented races and ethnicities. Where we can have more people from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, we will seek to do that. These goals apply to open casting roles as well as talent attached to the project at the time an agreement is signed with Amazon Studios. We also aspire to cast at least 10% of our roles with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or gender non-conforming / non-binary; and 10% with people who self-identify as a person with a disability. Amazon Studios is dedicated to making a good faith effort to inclusive casting and we encourage our partners to do the same"
Even if they did actively choose to have a more diverse cast, why does it even matter? It is a fantasy land with wizards, orcs, giant spiders, power rings, ghosts and immortal beings.
for the 1000th time, the rules were set by the creator of the world the tv show is a part of. I would have liked a show that focused on storytelling 1st, not some bad attempt to portray a fantasy world that has to have stupid quotas of race and sexuality set out by some overpaid executive because they think that entertainment needs to have reflections of the real world.
I don't expect Korean-made tv shows to have an arbitrary number of white people or black people, I just expect them to tell a decent story 1st and foremost. Amusingly enough I've already seen twitter crazies that cheer the representation in this and WoT demand the sequel to Squid Games include a certain percentage of racial minorities.
