(I admit it, I advocate diversity in casting not out of a desire for better representation but out of an inability to tell 'pretty' white people apart if they change their hairstyles.)
I was actually just thinking about this, because I also have trouble telling 'pretty' white people apart - and in fact thinking about this in context of Avengers, because I still can't tell Coulson from other characters and as a result his ~dramatic death scene~ fell majorly flat for me. Please, Hollywood, give me nonwhite characters and female characters and non-normatively-attractive characters and visibly disabled characters so I can tell wtf is going on. ;_;
(I might actually have mild faceblindness issues; it's not unusual for autistic spectrum and I keep doing this thing where I identify people based on things like height, hair colour, etc. and discover several months into my PhD that oops, I actually have *two* coursemates with red hair, a beard and square glasses, I'm sorry for thinking you were the same person. This is frequently met with "but they look NOTHING ALIKE" from boggling spectators.)
