I don't think what's being talked about is there having ever been a black person in Ancient Greece but if that black person is meant to be just a regular Greek dude or something.
They might be portraying an Ethiopian person who came to Ancient Greece for whatever reason. And that wouldn't be super extraordinary.
You do know greeks don't look pale white, right? 90% of the Celtic looking actors are too white to be accurate Ancient Greeks too by your "everyone looked same back then" logic.
And their nose structure completely different too! Immersion ruined.
I'm not sure who was talking about pale white. The whole thing was about a black guy being in the movie. I don't even know who they're portrayingÂ
I am saying an Irish looking person would also be equally immersion breaking as just a regular Greek dude by your logic.
I'm not the one who made the Twitter post but yeah could be?
