Though I don't care for her in the role, why is she a racist?
She needs Ski to get her into shape for that role. She's way too skinny.

So Superman is British, Wonder Woman is a skinny Israeli chick and Batman is Ben Affleck. Makes sense.

And Anthony Quinn was Mexican American and he played an Eskimo, an Arab, a Greek more then once and even Doc Holiday. What does race have to do with Acting?

Acting? Nothing. The problem people have with those casting choices (people, not me) are the changes to the characters. Superman and Wonder Woman are American made creations. And they're portrayed as such i.e. as White "Americans". Cavill is British. And now the chick up for WW is Israeli. And Ben Affleck is.. well Ben Affleck.
Same reason some people got upset about Ben Kingsley being cast to portray The Mandarin i.e. an Asian character as opposed to just hiring someone Asian.

But Wonder Woman is Greek. A Mediterranean woman is better casting than a Caucasian. If anything, Lynda Carter was miscast.
We're drifting into shark infested waters here, but it has something to do with how some people regard anyone from her country of origin.

I personally don't care. As long as they do a good job I couldn't care less about them in real life and if that differs significantly from the character they're portraying. But people like to complain so..

I always thought Linda Carter could pass for Greek, no problem.

When I was seven Linda Carter made me feel "funny".

They need someone who looks like Monica Bellucci in her late 20's.
Also they need someone athletic. When she swings a sword you should see muscles in her arms and back.

Oh, so it's something stupid and not something she's actually done? They're idiots then.

Hell, look how many tv shows have British or Australian actors portraying Americans. Doesn't pay to get upset cause there's too many of them.
It's an infestation!
