I didn't know they caught flack for that, and personally I think it's stupid that they did. There are a lot of people that are named or even take nicknames that are not necessarily a part of their heritage. I'll go as far to say that a whole generation of people here in America have names that have nothing to do with their heritage due to reasons like intermarriage between cultures, and yes I will say it the descendants of slaves that were bought from Africa.

Also, I had no idea that the actress that plays Kali was African American but from what I know about her, that's only a part of her heritage. If people were upset about her being named Kali I kind of find it ridiculous. You don't see anyone making a fuss when a non-Asian person is named Asia or a non-indian person is named India, same with China. Sorry for the rant but I think it's silly and I agree with Arden's points. It also doesn't make sense considering how the other ethnicities are cast. i.e. A Nigerian playing an African-American or an Australian portraying an American and vice-versa, an American portraying an Australian.
