>Yeah I know Three-Body Problem is literally the best selling Chinese sci-fi book of all time but couldn't we just make the main character black?
They actually fucking did it. They literally deleted the main character from the book and replaced him with a black guy. They replaced the second main character (at least during the first book) with a composite, like every other character. They couldn't handle casting 90% Asians for the first season. It was impossible for them.
