I can accept this to a point, but honestly I don't think DL really does "casting" - though they like to call it that. But then again, if they are casting, then I guess you have to question the object of the "show" - I'm not sure a scale and a size requirement have much meaning if you want to create an "authentic" feel for a particular land, in fact I think less homogenity would be a plus in the experience. (A fact I think contemporary marketing has started to clue into)
Even if you are casting for attractiveneess, I think you benefit from diversity - who wants to visit a brothel where all the girls look the same?
I do agree that a little tailoring can go a long way, why not have "costuming" do what costuming usually does in a show?
As for scranny canoe-men, how do you think those guys get those guns?
