yes, of course. an 80% white country made movies about people from all over the world and felt no need to hire racially-accurate actors to portray fictional bullshit. note that there were plenty of blacks around and they got into movies when it called for black characters. there's nothing wrong with having a white guy play an egyptian in a movie - the only reason to have an actual egyptian is because it improves the realism of the story. now that we're able to hire actors from every background it's easy to accomplish this WHEN IT MATTERS. changing fictional characters who were written as one race into some mongrel half-breed for PC points is the opposite and ruins the realism. that's why these movies have no cultural resonance and are forgotten five minutes after they're released.
