Very Timely and Well-Acted - but for one character

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2018)

I agree with all the accolades and the fact that this was a very poignant and timely film given the current status of race relations in America. But can someone please tell me, Why the hell was Nicholas Turturro cast in this movie? His character just didn't make sense! It upsets me when an otherwise perfectly cast movie makes such a blatant mistake in casting. Did someone not show up for work that day??? How does an obviously New York (accent) Hispanic get cast as a member or confidant to the KKK? Just wondering and Bewildered.....
