I think its sad and unsustainable that the legitimate reaction against blackface has turned into a dogma that actors must only ever play people exactly like themselves. I'm pretty sure Jango/ Boba Fett wasn't Māori, even though Temuera Morrison is. Cliff Curtis has played Arabs and all sorts of other non-Māori roles, and it would make far more sense in the story of Fear the Walking Dead for Travis to be Hawaiian 🤷♂️
