Jesus of Nazareth was all-white, as I recall. But in the movie version of Jesus Christ Superstar they made Judas black and everyone complained.
Some people are never satisfied.
I understand that True-May did make some remark about deliberately excluding coloured people. That was a silly thing both to do and say.
However in the true spirit of colour blindness (rather than inserting coloureds just to make up quotas) we should neither know nor care how many were in it.
Also it is interesting to note that it was criticised for having too few minority viewers – what an absurd accusation, and here too we should neither know nor care.
I pity the poor sod who gets picked to play the black/Asian character in the new series. Everyone is going to point at him and yell ‘TOKEN!!’
