Queen Cleopatra actress Adele James says claims of 'blackwashing' are 'fundamentally racist' after she was cast as the Macedonian-Greek ruler in Netflix series
The star of Netflix's new Cleopatra drama has addressed the furore over casting

Egyptians reacted with dismay at the casting of black actress in the vaunted role

Egyptians reacted with dismay at the apparent rejection of records which show Cleopatra was Macedonian-Greek. An Egyptian lawyer has filed a case with the country's public prosecutor demanding that Netflix be shut down.

It is not a drama, it is presented as a documentary so getting the races right is sort of important or we can have "I have a dream a history of ML King" with Jamie Campbell, "The long walk to Essex - the Mandela story" with Joey Essex etc.

Next week Shaka Zulu starring Larry Grayson!

No reason this lady should get abuse though.
