It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

The "Unite the Kingdom" rally being half the size, rather than growing, seems to have limited media, political attention to it. Also lacks novelty, second time around, but smaller. Writing about protests, prejudice & related themes in my weekly column. Interested in insights & observations.
