Yennefer's look in The Witcher TV series caused controversy. Is it racial discrimination to say that her skin color is not white?

Last night (July 1), Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the creator of Netflix's "The Witcher" TV series, released the poster for the show and the makeup photos of the main characters, and fans had mixed reactions.

The female creator defines Yennefer as having a strong personality, being self-important, having a keen sixth sense, and doing things her own way. Although she claims to be single, she longs for a happy family deep down.

Everyone agrees with the above definition, but they are not satisfied with Anya Chalotra who plays Yennefer. Many people think that Yennefer is the worst casting among the three protagonists. First of all, the 23-year-old actress is too young, and she only looks pure and innocent. Although we haven't seen her performance yet, everyone generally doubts that Anya's experience is not enough to play the mature female role of Yennefer.

Secondly, some people think that Yennefer is not white enough. They say that the original Yennefer is of European descent, while Anya is British Indian. Is it because of political correctness that she can play Yennefer just because she has black hair? But some people think that the statement "Yennefer is not white enough" is racial discrimination.

Some people also asked why Eva Green was not used to play Yennefer? Although she is a little older, she can easily kill a young girl with makeup.

It all comes down to budget. The salary of one Eva Green is worth that of dozens of Anyas. Hollywood producers prefer young British actors. Most of the British celebrities who are active in the spotlight today have played minor roles in Hollywood blockbusters. They have solid foundation and superb acting skills. They are not only fluent in language communication but also obedient. More importantly, the salary is generally low, especially for those young actors who are not well-known.
