Got into it with a friend about why he thinks Idris Elba shouldn’t play Roland Deschain

He insisted that Roland couldn’t be Black because he was meant to be a direct descendant of King Arthur

Not to mention that King Arthur is fictional and so is Roland Deschain and Stephen King can do whatever the fuck he wants so take your bigotry elsewhere bro

So the OP’s friend is saying that in twelve centuries *none* of Arthur’s descendants could possibly have hooked up with a PoC?
