Maybe this is just a paranoid reading poisoned by the fact that Trump just got elected, but I do also wonder if the reason we get a Jacob Elordi rather than a Romani or Black Heathcliff is because Hollywood directors are scared to cast non-white actors as characters that have traditionally played by white actors. Like I would not be surprised to find that white directors want really badly to avoid the backlash that Disney got when they cast Halle Bailey play Ariel in the Little Mermaid. I hope that producers, directors, and casting agents will be brave though, when it's done well non-traditional race-conscious casting can add so much to a story.
