Not a fan of the reasons for the recasting…but this guy is spot on…

Oh, he's good. But I still think Peter should be played by a genuine dumb fat American, in the same interests of being authentic to the character. It’s just not right that an erudite, slim Canadian has created and taken a role that he's really not properly suited for.

Totally agree on how ridiculous and hypocritical “identity politics” have become.

Playing someone of a different race/ethnic group/religion etc builds EMPATHY.
And understanding. :|
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
