It only took one comic book movie made for black culture to make white people bitch and moan about not being represented correctly. For fucks sake.

Heimdall is a Nordic god, they shapeshift. He was a fish once in mythology. If he wants to look like Idris Elba he can.

I personally don’t know where you’re from, but talking about Nordic gods as your "heritage" if you’re not from Scandinavia specifically or Germanic Europe as a whole sounds like you're reaching. Hell, I'm from Germany, no one talks about Germanic deities here unless it's fiction. They don’t matter to the wide population.

Also, about the "double standard", before you try to complain about that please remember which ethnicity has almost 100 years of movie history entirely dedicated towards them, no one else, and then think about if black people are applying a "double standard" or if you are.

And lastly, please stop it with the "propaganda"-whining if you want to be taken seriously. You sound ridiculous.
