I don't agree.
In most modern movies it doesn't matter because they are full of random stuff anyway. Multiversese, magic, history that never happened, and so on.
Bow if they were to make a movie about an african tribe of the 1800s based on real events I wouldn't be able to take that movie seriously if half or all of them had pink, beige skin or any too obviously genetically impossible traits for the geological area and time the movie plays in.
Immersion sometimes also means accuracy.
Any knee-jerk blanket statements like yours are bad. Not as bad as the racist people who just want to find dumb reasons to exclude actors with skin colors darker than theirs, but still just not very smart.
Which is true for many here.
People really need to find the sweet spots between extremes, sheesh.
