I ran into one item that caused me a bit of a laugh. There was a group trying to raise money for a remake of Gone With The Wind but they ran into the issue that they would not be allowed to have even a small majority of the slaves played by persons of African descent. Much like The Bridgertons where one friend of mine from England commented on the lack of historical accuracy in the racial mix in the ballrooms.
