Apparently Jarl Hakkon wasn't a white man at all but a black woman according to Netflix

The only explanation is that Jarl Haakon had red hair and that would mean that Hollywood would want to swap out the ginger. I was reading that a lot of red-haired comic book heroes have been race-swapped.

I'm not in favor of casting a woman of color but I'll still check out the show. Caroline Henderson was born in Sweden but she does not appear to be an accomplished actress. I thought they could have added diversity to the cast by having the vikings meet other cultures as they traveled to North America and Africa.
Netflix being netflix.
Unsub and explain why.
If enough people do it enough to hurt them they might understand.
At one point, I would agree with you but that point is in the past.
These people are resolute in their cause and will not change.
Money be damned.
They’re getting money, all the money they need, but not from subscribers, who are no longer part of their business plan. The funding comes from sources dedicated to changing society and eradicating heterosexual white men.
shareThis has nothing to do with whether there were black vikings historically or not. The only reason we have a colored woman playing a viking, and a leader no less, is because of woke dеgеnеrаtеѕ that have infested Hollywood like cockroaches and infected the entertainment industry with woke rеtаrdаtіоn.
Wokies are the lowest form of life. Lower than pond scum. They should be pushed out to the fringes of society where they belong.
Every Wokie should be terminated...In Minecraft.
It ridiculous. Why didnt they cast a transperson of color instead? F@&%/= transphobe bigot producers.
shareKind of like Laurence Olivier playing Othello. I’m mean, really. The way some people think.
shareThat was stupid even in the 60s. An intelligent solution would have been to race swap the cast and set in a fictional world (as was done in the 90s version of Richard III).
Keep Olivier but make Othello white?
Race swap who? Why does it have to be a fictional world. You mean either an all black cast or all white cast but not a black among whites? I’m confused.
“Shakespeare based his Othello play on a short story, Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain"), by Giraldo Cinthio, published in 1565.”
i think everyone with brain know that vikings were not black woman.
they do this because they know modern audience want to see diversity cast in everything even in places and time where diversity not exist for 1000 year.
modern audience do not want to see all white cast because that is what modern audience do they can not connect to character on screen unless they have specific race because everyone now race obsess!! this is why everything shit now because in film/ tv the character and story is about race and not quality!!
if you do not like these new shit tv shows/film then i recommence you watch older tv show instead where the actor cast on abilitys not race.
But thats the thing: no audience wants to see that 💩, unless you by "modern audience" means the most militant fringe part of the lgtb and muh racism crowd and a couple of other deranged leftards. Modern audience my stinky sweaty nightshift a$$.
sharewell there must be demand for woketard cast because all shit film and tv now have this woketard set ups so many woketards like keelai the hutt are tuning in to see race instead of storylines and character.
if the show start to fail maybe this might change and they go back to cast actor on merit and write story without race obsess but in meantime woketards running roughshod on entertainment and ruin it.
