Nearly every video is extreme left propaganda like black actor playing English queen Charlotte. That was so dumb and disgusting to watch that a lot of people canceled subscription on that time.
Bridgerton, set in an alternate universe is a show that has had a pretty intense trigger effect. The idea of black people playing Regency era personalities is unacceptable for some despite being obviously far from historically accurate to the point of being classified as “dumb and disgusting”.
Bridgeton is simply enjoyable and a bit silly, lots of heart. Its a bit of a new formula though. I know many who stiff it for being "historically inaccurate". The period is merely the setting for a story in my view. If it's your preference to get more of a dose of history and accuracy, thats your thing, not a requirement. Think kids of different backgrounds playing make-believe, can they not pretend to impersonate someone they admire, of another race? That aside there are some shows we watched a few episodes of that were dripping with what its creators think must resonate, but it comes of cheap and without conviction. Just woke throwaways.
I agree that it's ridiculous to assume everyone disliking the show is a racist.
However your race-bending example is not a good analogy because MLK was a Black rights leader whereas nobody (reasonable) admires queens for their white leadership. The queen's whiteness is not a defining factor in her historical character, at least from white folks' perspective. Compare this to how many Black historical figures do have their blackness as an integral part of their character's story. There is an in-built asymmetry here which makes race-bending arguments unconvincing.
> Blacks would burn and loot
This phrase is dripping with dog whistle and I almost didn't take the time to reply. It likely accounts for all your downvotes.
You can have your cake and eat it too. You can turn the screws on the woke-religionists and their moral panic, while still acknowledging that society has a lot of growing to do on race-centered topics.
Oh how I would love people to actually know what "extreme left" meant before being insulted by the massive propaganda coup which is a black person playing a historically white person. Kind of like that critically slammed and forgettable propaganda piece Hamilton, right?
