i dont think people should use prosthetics to look like real people in biopics, period. it’s a dumbass idea even when there aren’t racist connotations.
I always think back to that one Nixon biopic as an example of a believable portrayal having a lot less to do with if an actor looks like the real life person and more to do with their acting skills. I can’t remember which Nixon movie it was, actor might have been John Goodman or something, but they nailed Nixon’s affect and mannerisms perfectly.

Johnny Depp looking ridiculous in Black Mass because of all 3 people who were grading that film on his likeness to Whitey Bulger.
