You read my mind. I had remembered this and was just trying to google it. Google being google gave me tons of trump/Shakespeare hits instead.

Go to Tools after entering search. Drop down on anytime. You can then set the dates you want. Great for checking past Republican idiocy.

I learned about it last week.

Still not sure what to make of it. If the cast is almost all non-white, then I'd expect their caesar to not conform to stereotypes. If it's all white, then having a black caesar makes for a contrast that might be meaningful. It's the contrast that's important, not the mere fact of the actor's skin color.

Don't know about the description, though: white guy with yellow/orange hair being beaten by a group of non-"anglo" minorities? Was the 2012 caesar killed by a bunch of skinheads?

Context matters for understanding. Otherwise it's like fundies who proof-text, cherry-picking facts to suit what you want to prove.
