but i'm questioning why 300 (the book AND the movie) has altered the demographic in the first place. you're question in the context of 300 assumes that the greeks were the white massive scottish people and persians were a black, brown, gay freakshow. (umm...isn't it the GREEKS who are known for their fun boys? and whats so not-gay about buff spartans oiled down running around in briefs?) which just wasn't the case. snyder/miller have made persians jet black to play on white fear. i know you know this...i don't have to explain it to you.
