Be careful anti your painting yourself into a corner again...here is a group of questions you will avoid answering
so if you say it's racist to think a white woman can play an Asian..is it racist to think an Asian woman can play a white woman? Or to think an Asian can play a black part? Is it racist to think a black woman can play an Asian part?
Simple rule (not the first time and not the last time I will say it.... "Select the best actor for the part based on the performance...don't select the best actor based on just ethnicity."
You know you are wrong and your agruement is flawed. Best practice for all of you racist liberals that like to cloak the fact that you know you are the TRUE RACIST.
Just like cops and drug dealers that need a drug war to stay profitable....you need a race war to stay relevant.
SC: Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests to "shift her ethnicity" and make SJOHA more Asian in GSHEL. Apr 15, 10:47
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz {nm} Apr 15, 10:54
Pardon? {nm} Apr 15, 14:54
Paramount denies test was for SJOHA Apr 15, 10:58
I believe SC's multiple sources who likely worked on the VFX, over corporate flacks. {nm} Apr 15, 11:01
Or maybe she is just the best choice for the job..regardless of ethnicity Apr 15, 11:25
Saying a white woman can play a better Asian than an Asian woman is racist. {nm} Apr 15, 11:34
+ 1 {nm} Apr 15, 11:38
Best choice for the job doesn't mean best acting - could be best return on investment Apr 15, 11:43
Saying that SJOHA is a better box office prospect than some random Asian is NOT racist. {nm} Apr 15, 12:02
There are plenty of Asian celebrity actors in the world. {nm} Apr 15, 12:05
How many of them are women? {nm} Apr 15, 12:07
Lucy Liu is the only one that comes to mind when I think of big stars. {nm} Apr 15, 12:09
Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and Shu Qi to name just three are all pretty big stars. {nm} Apr 15, 12:20
Yeah, if you're targeting the Chinese market. {nm} Apr 15, 12:25
and that's why they were cast in TFRM and XMEN. China will soon surpass US box office.. {nm} Apr 15, 12:29
It might surpass but won't erase the US box office. The casting is simple, primary market economics. {nm} Apr 16, 11:10
Someone photoshopped Rinko Kiuchi Apr 15, 12:41

True racists claim non-existent "reverse racism" to stay in power. {nm} Apr 15, 13:07

well, hold on...you can't be saying there are no good Asian actors =P {nm} Apr 15, 11:51
Could we move this thread to the LIFE board? {nm} Apr 15, 14:44
+1. This is a site dedicated to playing a movie-prediction game for fantasy money. Apr 15, 19:58
+1000...I think the truth is that Cantor have given up on HSX and are happy for Antibody to run it as his own fiefdom. {nm} Apr 16, 04:06
God forbid people on a movie board talk about movies and how they're cast {nm} Apr 15, 23:56
I would prefer a balanced debate than preaching. {nm} Apr 16, 11:07
If they were so determined to cast ScarJo, why didn't they move the story to the US? Apr 15, 23:58
Why bother? Movies have changed ethnicity and gender of characters all the time from source material Apr 16, 06:11
And I LOVED Denzel Washington in The Pelican Brief,, so this strategy of "cast the big name actor" works. {nm} Apr 16, 06:13
To avoid looking creepy, the way "Ghost in the Shell" does now Apr 16, 10:25
Any discussion of any individual's race or any character's race is racist. So there. {nm} Apr 16, 09:34
