So in that case, Americans can only play Americans, Brits can only play Brits etc.

It's noticeable how this week's russian psyop style Hollywood furore is over a black actress playing a fictional greek character not Americans and Brits playing fictional greek characters

People like you are the reason why I specifically cgose the words: "Any too obviously genetically impossible traits"

Americans and brits do not look clearly different. Similar enough.

But you must have skipped that part of what I wrote or have just jumped to a knee-jerk answer after the first words?

Also: americans are a nation of immigrants. Except the few native Americans, so they can be realistically be played by a wild mix.
