I dislike this meme, it's inaccurate

You're right, based on that article. It doesn't matter, I'm just pointing out that it wasn't just a random choice to make her black. I'd argue they should have made her Iranian to be more accurate, but the claim is that people are randomly just changing skin colors in documentaries all willy nilly and so far the only example is a weak one.

Yes, it does work like that in some cases. My comment is technically wrong, the best kind of wrong.

As another commenter pointed out, the way they intend to do it sounds absolutely like they are going to do it the old way, which surprises me because the hold up a photo thing has been a solved problem for a while.

I'm a software engineer and I work in machine vision hardware. I may have been lazy with my response, but I do know what I'm talking about. On some level I'm probably in a bubble because I work close enough to the cutting edge of things that I wouldn't expect any modern company to be employing such basic algorithms to a solved problem.

I'm a software engineer and I can confirm that you are absolutely fucking rude on this one.

Maybe 5 years ago, but not (usually) any more

Retirement accounts for myself and people close to me so we can live off the interest. Then probably a bigger house and a bunch of old cars

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy Her race is actually heavily debated by historians, so that's not a very clear cut example.

People don't generally do that. If you're referring to Hamilton, it was not a documentary or a biography. And historically white people did that all the time in plays/movies for entertainment, so why get all angry about it now that it's not white people?
