In this case, the stupidity is almost as bad as the racism.
Honestly not feeling anything about a character you loved in the book dying because shes played by a black actress is utterly ridiculous.
The guy Morgan Freeman plays in the Shawshank Redemption is supposed to be white. Does it make any difference to the performance or any difference to your sense of empathy to the character? No. If you thought QB was white because your stupid and dont the read the books properly and found him to be played by a black actor, namely Lance Reddick or whatever (dark skinned), would it 'ruin' the film for you.
People are stupid
