Jesus Christ, it's like they just don't stop

Why do they always see the need to cast a caucasian actor to portray a Japanese character. Argue all you want about Goku, but Kyo Kusanagi is full blood Japanese. Dear God, there's no telling how this is gonna turn out

G*DAMN HOLLYWOOD AND THiER F***iNG RACIAL BIAS!!! you can't tell me that all of Hollywood is liberal after this crap.

 

[Alchemyst]

at this point...i'm speechless

 

[DorkyFresh]

really.....if people can't see Hollywood's racial bias after this then they need to be launched into outer space. this is getting ridiculous. next thing you know someone's gonna try to do a Robert Downey from Tropic Thunder in a more serious film!!!!

THERE ARE PLENTY OF ASIAN, HISPANIC, and ETHNIC ACTORS OUT THERE! WHY THE HELL DOES HOLLYWOOD KEEP CASTING CAUCASIAN ACTORS IN ETHNIC ROLES?????

I just found these on the IMDB message board, supposedly these are 2 pics of Maggie Q as Mai Shirinui. smh

Now, I don't now how true those first 2 pics are, like i said they were on the IMDB boards, but looking at those pics already gives me a bad feeling. She looks nothing like this at all, damn you Hollywood

oh....



....well then wtf???? that's even worse!

 

[dark_b]

[Drizzle]

Why do any of you care? The movie will suck anyway.

Yeah it sucks. There's not many roles for us Asians out there, we can't get leading men roles and if we're in Hollywood movies we're typically the dorky exchange student. At least give us the ****ing martial arts typecast that we have in our niche.

I mean seriously, that one about the MIT students that was supposedly based on a true story was totally bogus. The true story had an Asian teacher and mostly Asian students instead they cast one and only as a side character.

**** you Hollywood, suck my stereotypical 3 incher.

Sean Faris as Kyo?...God help us all...
Since when did Kyo Kusanagi become white?

 

[SoulManX]

You got appeal to young white male demographic

 

[DorkyFresh]

yeah cuz...you know...white male heroes are soooooo scarce!

Hey, they are angry and white because us tan and blacks are snatching up all the good **** via affirmative action, duh.

That makes two.

KOF is too unpopular to make anything but an anime of

agreed....which is why i'm baffled at the casting of Kyo. it's not as if catering to the majority race is going to put asses in seats.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Why are all manga and anime people drawn white?

 

[DorkyFresh]

Why are all manga and anime people drawn white?

please tell me you're joking.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Not at all. There are no manga or animes where the people look asian. Wide eyes. No mongol fold. Seems sorta like an Uncle Tom art form.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that you haven't had much exposure to anime/manga.

 

[GhostPoet]

Man do I love to hate americanization.

 

[Octoberist]

it's funny how they almost make video game movies with questionable filmmakers.

 

[Franklin Richards]

So you're saying that in anime/manga the characters are mostly drawn asian?
