I also don't get this. Rami Malek is American, with Egyptian parents. He played Parsi-Indian descent British Freddie Mercury and he does not exactly resemble Mercury. He had two hours of daily make up including a prosthetic nose to play Mercury. I haven't seen any criticism of that- film got four Oscars and any news comments about the makeup is with praise about how they achieved the look. Why is Saldana's case different?

It’s ignorance. Rami caught a little flack from the online minority about why an American actor was picked to play Pharoah Ahkmenrah in Night at the Museum. Some people just want to complain for no reason.
