Recently, Netflix announced the debut of a new series called “Queen Cleopatra”, co-produced by Jada Pinkett Smith. Controversy erupted when people across the internet watched the series’ trailer and discovered that the lead actress Adele James is unambiguously black. After years of criticizing Hollywood for “whitewashing”, many pointed out that James’ appearance was historically inaccurate.
