Comments like yours are so depressing. I signed up just to find a place to discuss this movie but people like you keep taking over every thread. The skin colour of the character bears no importance either to the character or to the story, literally nothing is lost from either of these facets of the movie by the brown pigmentation of the actor's skin. It's broadly about the acquisition of glory/greatness/status/importance (whatever you want to call it) and its conflict with one's integrity. This is a story. Stories are made up events that tend to convey some kind of meaning to the audience. It is not a history lesson. No-one watching it is going to develop any misconceptions regarding the racial make-up of medieval Britain just like no-one began to believe Ares was involved in the instigation of WW1 after the release of Wonder Woman.
Either your imagination really doesn't exist or you are just very sad and very scared. I'm not sure what's worse, someone watching a film and feeling uncomfortable and unsettled because they're no longer able to suspend disbelief because of the colour they're seeing on someone's skin (guy, there were no giants, witches, ghosts or talking foxes in medieval Britain either) or someone feeling threatened by that colour and only feeling calm again by invoking the word "woke".
I hope it's the latter because then at least there's hope. It's okay, you're okay. You've got to believe me when I say brown people are not the reason you're unhappy and scared.
