True. If you wrote a story or produced a story about a successful man out of some village in India, and made sure that 90% of the casting was any race OTHER than Indian, you'd get attacked for being a racist.

The entire point is, of course, that diversity is not commonly found in the world, and that should be reflected in storytelling.

Fans of the books have a well defined visualization that is accumulated over many hours of reading. Is it wrong to expect the characters on film to reflect those on the page?

Yes. It isn't about the 'mythical' creature. Its about having an agenda shoved down everyone's throat at the expense of art and literature.

No. It's about denying work to actors because you believe only certain ethnicities are allowed to portray mythical creatures ...

Earlier eras. It seems Italians and Jews played Native Americans with a mixture of other ethnic groups in that time.
