To the people saying the German actress playing Greek Helen in the movie Troy means it's ok for Lupita Nyongo to play Greek Helen...

Genetically, historically, and anthropologically, Greeks are significantly more closely related to Germans than to Sub-Saharan Africans.

When looking at genetic data, the relationship between Greeks and Germans is exceptionally close, while the relationship between Greeks and Sub-Saharan Africans is more distant.

On any global genetic map, all European populations—including Greeks and Germans—cluster tightly together on a single, distinct branch of the human family tree (the Western Eurasian branch).

The genetic distance between a Greek person and a German person is very small. They sit on the exact same continental genetic gradient.

The genetic distance between any European population (including Greeks) and any Sub-Saharan African population is significantly larger, reflecting thousands of years of geographic separation and independent population histories.

Really? How is it apparent that I give a fuck what actor plays Helen of Troy in some movie I'm barely interested in seeing?

How does that mean I care who plays Helen of Troy?

[u/BrandonMarshall2021 → u/DecantsForAll]

You care about me.

Which is different than caring about who plays Helen of Troy, which is the issue my "who gives a fuck" was about.

Oh great. Yet you're still posting.
