Outrage over the ethnicity of the cast of ABC's new biblical series in 3...2...1...

It looks like ABC is going biblical on its viewers, picking up the drama “Of Kings and Prophets” for the 2015-16 TV season:

But as we’ve heard complaints in the past about the ethnicity of actors who play Bible-era Middle Easterners — for example, this CNN piece…

…we wonder how soon until ABC comes under fire for its casting choices?

Or maybe “Of Kings and Prophets” will be different. Let’s take a look:
