Britain is by far the worst in Europe on this issue and seems no longer able to make anything no matter the context or setting without "diversity", and just like in America diversity overwhelmingly means black. It doesn't seem as bad in continental Europe.

I was recently thinking how unique it was that Vikings has remained diversity free despite being an American production. I think it is co-produced with a European production company may have helped avoid this issue. There is a new version being made for Netflix, it will be interesting to see if it avoids the diversity cult.

Vikings did have a season with a female "chinese slave" doing a bunch of sex scenes but that was cringe and they called it off. If I'm not mistaken it's actually a Canadian/Irish coproduction

If it was a Chinese woman playing a Chinese slave then I don't see the issue. The issue is when they cast non Europeans to play European parts.
