How do we determine who is asian and who is white?
is scarlett johansson asian or white? emma stone? tilda swinton?
Asian and Caucasian don't have clear lines. You are talking about vast regions here with long histories. Look at groups of Russians as perfect examples, many multi-generational russian people having both stereotypical European and Asian features.
okay. so then don't get hung up on how a role is cast, so much?

Damon was chastised for portraying a deemed Asian character to hell and back.

My problem is, actors can't portray and do make believe anymore? Get the fuck over yourselves.

This is why I don't want Hollywood touching the classics, anymore. If they bring back F13 in any form, they will turn Jason into a transqueer or something.

i'll have to look it up.

and i pointed out three cases that yes they can still play make believe. and probably always will be able to. bullying someone out of a role is not a good look, whether that someone shares real life traits with the character or not.

Remember, it only goes in one direction. SJWs have no problem with a black person playing a white character or a trans person playing a non trans.

Sorry for not wanting my childhood memories crapped all over. Why don't we make Spider-man a child molestor while we are at it. Plenty in Hollywood to play that role...

Anybody ever had a fucking headache that is persistent every day for like two weeks and you need tylenol just to function? Knowing my luck it is either a clot in the brain or a tumor, but assuming it's non-life threatening, I think it's a tension headache. My symptoms seem to match it, and today I can feel this tingling-soreness in my neck.

Other than when I got hit by a car when I was young, I have never had a headache.

Worried about you, sir. Is scary.

Well that can't be true. Gay characters only exist as a mechanism of Hollywood overcompensation!
