Apparently the top ten worst films for whitewashing in recent years
1. Gods of Egypt
2 Avatar: The Last Airbender
3. Dragonball Evolution
4. Lone Ranger
5. Exodus: Gods and Kings, 6. Noah, and 7. The Passion of the Christ
8. Star Trek Into Darkness
9. Prince of Persia
10. Panned
>There is no reason for anyone to still be casting white people in nonwhite roles. And every time this happens, there are complaints. And the responses are always that they cast “the best person” for the role. But that usually just means the most famous name they can get.
>And since the status quo is that those are white people, the roles always end up being whitewashed. It is way past time for this practice to stop.

It's called acting.
Is a Native American actor only allowed to play Native American roles and nothing else?

Looks Caucasian to me. Of course, it's a fantasy setting where real world races don't exist, but Caucasian is the race he'd be in the real world.
>Star Trek Into Darkness
Because Khan was played by Cucumbersnatch? He was originally played by Ricardo Montalban, who is a beaner. It was never an Asian role.
The Liberal mind is a sick mind.

>>64231728
It's no coincidence that all these movies are fucking awful.
>>64231783
That's the wrong way to go about it and people who actually say these things are ignorant. Gender-blind casting is gender-blind casting, simple as that. The real issue is that more original characters/roles need to be created that can be played by non-white actors without someone complaining. Another real issue is that Hollywood needs to start casting unknown actors and actresses instead of the same two dozen white faces that need multi-million dollar paychecks just to keep the industry afloat (which it will never do). People are sick of seeing Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and Christian Bale in multiple movies every fucking year, and for good reason. Think about how many hours of your life you've spent staring at the faces of the same handful of people. Now think about how many people there on this planet, and how many of them are genuine, talented actors who just want a chance at recognition. Isn't it absurd?

>>64232017
>When the name of the villain is “Khan Noonien Singh” and you cast Benedict Cumberbatch to play him, you’ve done something very wrong. Especially when that character was etched into the public consciousness by the performance of Ricardo Montalbán. To be fair, having a Mexican actor play a Sikh character in the first place was an odd notion—but that was a long time ago, and if anything, this feels like a step backwards.
ITS 2015 basically theyre excuse for dancing around the Montalban subject
>>64232099
why doesnt this apply to live action.
>>64232133
So the canonically established race of a character isn't whats important, its their name.
Reminder that any role with a white name is a white role! Not so fast, Toby. Should have stuck with Kunta Kinte!
>>64231933
I think the bigger problem with that film was Katara and Sokka who went from vaguely inuit to very white. This was mostly due to Katara's actress being nepotismed into the role and her brother having to match. Then to maintain some semblance of diversity, Dev Patel was cast except he was playing the villain so the good guys got whiter and the bad guys got darker. It was overall just a mess and entirely Katara's actress's dad's fault.

>>64232256
Sokka and Katara have large, blue eyes. The Inuit have small eyes, never in the color blue (race-mixing aside).
Again, it's a fantasy world where real world races don't exist. These characters aren't Caucasian or Inuit, they're "Southern Water Tribe." Southern Water Tribe doesn't exist in the real world.

>I’m giving an honorable mention to Cloud Atlas—which is only left off this list because putting actors in yellow face is something even worse than whitewashing.
So they wanted them to recast the roles just for the Asian storyline?
Did they not understand what the film was going for with the actors being in every story?

>Japanese cartoons
Avatar: The Last Airbender is not a Japanese cartoon. It's American.
Also, not all Japanese cartoons look like that.
Also, not every character in a Japanese cartoon is Japanese or Asian. If you assume such, then you must also assume every American cartoon character is white (thus, Aang is white).
Do any of these people complain about Black Annie or Black Wizard of Oz or Black Hermione?
I'm sure they don't.

Khan. As far as I can tell, the original character was played by a latino, but was supposed to be Indian, more specifically, half muslim half sikh. I guess its because of how star trek assumes racemixing is a given in the future, or ignorance.
And then they got one of the whitest dudes ever to play him.

>>64232133
They casted a white actor because Hollywood refuses to put people of color in villian roles (despite the fact that the vast majority of crime is committed by blacks and browns).
That's it. It was a liberal inspired move to begin with.

You sound like those SJWs that were calling for Spider-Man to be played by Donald Glover. Why change Khan's race when you could make a new, original white character?
Question. How come to Jews diversity just equals black actors. With how important East Asian markets are now, why are Jews so opposed to hiring Asian actors for diversity? Also look at the way Jewish comedians/producers (Todd Phillips, Chuck Lorre, etc) make fun of Asians. They are the one race that are fair game to make fun off and degrade. Why do Jews have so much contempt for East Asians? They don't even allow them to satisfy AA job and college quotas.

Yes, Ricardo Mantalbon was 100% European. He wasn't mestizo, or Indio.
So, the irony is that Khan was already played by a white man, but plebs are too fucking stupid to realize.
>>64234903
No, he was named after Roddenberry's friend, Kim Noonien Singh. They fucked up making it khan, and mixing sikh and muslim names.

>>64235030
>>64234975
He was heavily bronzed for the role, Khan was meant to be Superman mixture of all human races.
Anyway Mantoban's whole career was playing dangerously suave Latin lovers who's whole charm was not being "white".
I don't get it, Avatar show was written by whites. It's not an Asian import or anything. Seems odd SJW's got so butthurt over whites being cast when the lead was a Native American (Noah Ringer) and half the cast were India Indians. You really must hate whites if a few white supporting actors trigger you so badly.
Also, God's of Egypt was written and directed by a Greek Egyptian, telling the story of a Greek person in Egypt. To appease people he even cast blacks as Egyptian Gods, but still had to apologize for hiring white actors to play the Greeks.
wtf?
>>64235113
Are you retarded? Spain is in Europe. Latin lovers refers to the people of European ancestry, not the native Americans. French, and Italian, and Irish people have all been romanized this way and they're all white.

For the role? No. That was just popular in Hollywood at the time, especially for an actor going by a Latin name.

The 50's singer, Ritchie Valens, was part Native. His girlfriend was white and her parents were racist. He pretended to be Italian so they would accept him. Dark hair doesn't equal non-white, you moron. Hitler's Y chromosome was the same as 80% of Italians.

>Dragonball Evolution
Are people stupid or just saying this because it's animu?
Everyone from the manga aside from Piccolo, Goku and Bulma were played by Asian actors. Piccolo was an all makeup character, so the actor's skin colour had no bearing on the character's appearance. Goku isn't even from earth, so his race is irrelevant and Bulma is from West City which is a location that has no Asian influence compared to where Grandpa Gohan, Chichi and Yamcha are from in that world.
>>64235266

So Dragonball is one of those films where normies don't understand the lore. ALL HUMANS (except for Yajirobe) are Chinese. Casting a Korean as a Chinese is highly offensive. Also, Goku is an alien from the planet Vegeta. There is no record indicating that he can't be white. He has blond hair and green eyes when he turns SSJ.

I'm not mad about either. I don't care of they cast an off-color actor for a character if it works. Elba owned that role and every scene he was in as Heimdall.
I'm sure if he becomes James Bond he'll do the same. If they Whitewash-blackwash a movie and it was complete ass like Avatar: The Last Air Bender was, yeah, you have a right to complain about the casting.
Would people go apeshit if Superman was portrayed by a black or Latino guy? He is an alien so I wonder if SJWs would harp about it

They didn't replace the local populations though, they just acultured them. There's only so many people in a deserted land and they didn't leave it empty.

His name is a clue that he's an Indian Sikh, as is the fact that it's the fucking canon literally everywhere. Montalban was playing a Sikh, they just couldn't find a turbano to do it. Cumbersnatch does not make the role canonically white.
Oh white people u so funny

Fury was white, before they rebooted the character (in the comics first) and made him black.
I think we can all agree, a movie with a lot of diversity is intrinsically better than a movie with a mostly white cast. The issue being debated is, when is it ok to to change the ethnicity of a character in the source material.
With how few roles there are for actors of color, I think we should be more lenient towards parts going from white to black rather than vice versa. But if for some reason it is crucial to the character that they be white, like if it's a KKK person or a Nazi, then I could understand a case being made for locking a white actor to the role.

Their cultures are influenced by real world cultures. That doesn't make them the same race, especially when, in the cartoon, they look nothing like people from those races.
Here's a picture of an Inuit girl. Does she look like Katara (with her big, blue eyes)? No. The actress they chose looks a lot like Katara, though.
>>64238758
Or we could just be ok with there being few roles for non-whites because they are a fucking minority.
>>64232389
Is this cuckwashing or blackwashing? Both?
>>64235113
>He was heavily bronzed for the role,
In TOS, yes. But in WoK they basically portrayed him as a muscular Aryan superman.
>>64235440
>The character is Indian
He was genetically engineered.
Khan is never a first name in India.
Noonien isn't even an Indian name.
He didn't have an Indian accent.

That pic makes no fucking sense. They chose the ugliest white guy they could find, and chose an asian model who's had eye surgery to look more caucasian.

Minorities in America, particularly blacks and Asians, are actually over-represented in Hollywood, given they only make up 13% and 5% of the entire population.
Hispanics are cast less than blacks even though there are more Hispanics in America than blacks (17% vs 13%).
>>64239705
And most of the time when Hispanics are cast they're literally stereotypes
>>64238758
>all agree, "a lot of diversity" intrinsically better
No, I don't agree. Some diversity is fine (especially since blacks aren't intelligent enough to create and/or maintain their own franchises ...so we have to help them like we do in society).
But a lot of diversity is unneccesary. Blacks characters are usually just hollow "positive propaganda" anyway
>>64234726
Roland's the one that hurts me the most. That tells me that if Roland's going to be black, Susannah's going to be white, so as not to blow the dynamic in Drawing of the Three. Instead of Detta calling Roland "cracker", it's going to be a evil white chick calling him "nigger". They don't have the balls to cast a black person as a racist.
Thinking about it, I also realized that a big plot point is Susannah letting herself get raped by a demon. SJWs are going to flip shit about that one.
There are block people in Dragon Ball (General Black)
There are Asian people in Dragonball (Yajirobe)
There are Native American people in Dragon Ball (Tribes of them)
Goku doesn't look like any of them. He has giant, round eyes and is a foot taller than Vegeta. They could make him Asian for virtue of him being the creation of an Asian, but he's an alien with clearly white features. Him being anything other than White or Asian is just pandering and would be universally shit on, and would be relegated to some multiverse tier bullshit where MUH BLACK GOKU EXISTS. No one is rushing to white wash Black Panther or Shaft, no one should be rushing to make white characters non white.

Here is the thing. Everyone wants to bitch about white washing.
But the second tumblr-fave Benedict Cumberbottom is cast as Doctor Strange, everyone fucking shuts up.
So I'm fine talking about whitewashing, as soon as I meet someone who actually cares.

>>64240315
He's from another planet, his race is Saiyan. Akira Toriyama has stated multiple times that Goku isn't specifically Asian and that he made Goku look ambiguous so that more people could relate to him.
>>64240315
This. Plus Goku isn't even fucking human so idk what people are always on about that for
>>64240406
Doctor Strange is a white character. You can't white wash a character that's already white

Khan was a character created by a white writer, and played by a white actor.
He was brought back again for "Into Darkness" by white writers and was again played by a white actor.
Stop acting like this is some kind of travesty.
The first time they couldn't find a charismatic Indian so they casted a Southern European and put him in bronze make-up. The second time they casted a Northern European (and only because Hollywood doesn't like to make brown people the villians).
I'd have been fine with him being a real Indian. I'm all for more brown villians.

just make a top ten black-washing from the last fifteen years with sam jack as nick fury
that will get em riled up and show them they're hypocrisy
>>64242718
Pretty certain Nick Fury what made black before Jackson ever stepped into the role.
>>64243457
The character was intentionally designed to look like Jackson, they probably already had agreed the roll when they were getting the original marvel films sorted
>>64243457
Exactly. He was made black. He was originally white. He was black washed in the comics
>>64244049
Was the color of his skin really important to his character? The answer to that, and most of the shit people whine about, is no.
How about we cast people right for the role?
>>64232389
Because there isn't an issue with whites being cast in movies.
Whitewashing is worse because it takes the few roles that a black or especially Asian person can be cast in and white washes them.
Look at fucking Earthsea, all the characters are specificially black ON PURPOSE in the books as Le Guin hates the idea of fantasy just "defaulting" to white europe, but in all the Earthsea movies, it's white people in medieval europe.

How about blacks write some novels and screenplays and create some characters.
Why do whites have to constantly do this for them?
>>64231728
If you disagree that new actors should get more roles you're literally an idiot.
Tons of non-whites graduate top-drama schools - and I've seen them act, and they are AMAZING. But they will never get any roles if they aren't in the hollywood "friends and family" club.
It's a loss for drama. If people were casted just as they come out of school, you'd be seeing a lot more non-white actors. Either way, I believe drama should transcend race, and "historical accuracy" is for trash-tier plebs who can't into art.

Nothing to even worry about there. Remember the annie remake? No one else does either.
It's blacksploitation, just in a modern format. How they can possibly say they want more of it is abso-fucking-lutely baffling to me.
>>64236926
The reason the writer changed him was because he felt bad having a Middle Eastern villain. Because people of Asian descent shouldn't be villains. So by avoiding being racist he was actually racist.

Why can't blacks and mixed race hispanics write and direct and develop some films/shows/ novels/ franchises?
Again, you won't answer this. It just shows how hollow your argument really is.
You are demanding that whites write movies for nonwhites. Again, whites already do that. Blacks are overrepresented in film based on their population %. So we are already giving more than we should.
You are one of three things:
- a child
- a minority
- brainwashed by the Social Religion and unable to use logic and stats to realize the truth

In Wrath of Khan it's not like anyone comments on his origin or his race. He's a lunatic obsessed with revenge and he and his crew dress like homosexual glam rockers and he quotes Moby Dick. Race is pretty fucking irrelevant. He's just a weirdo.

This is fucking stupid. When it's white people that are making the fucking movies it makes sense that white people are the lead characters, even if it's not fully correct (or at least it's excusable). What about the Japanese SnK movie that had nips cast as Europeans? Nobody complaining about Asianwashing? Nope. Because it is based of a Japanese work of fiction and created by Japanese people.

There's a case for more latin/asian actors but a good chunk of those movies mentioned are MENA related with huge budgets, there's no way they're going to allow unknown keb*bs lead a non franchise movie with budgets would kill or ruin a year for most studios if they flopped and I'm saying this as a fangirl of Rami Malek.
>>64242298
Well now you are just lying. Katara and Sokka are brown. Toph has white skin but that doesn't make her white.
Wait I thought Ben Kingsley was part Indian
>>64248333
They do. There are black and Hispanic and asian writers and directors. They do write minority characters. However they get pigeonholed into only doing that by a combination of the market and producer expectations. Then, and this is an assumption I admit, because you don't watch tv or movies with minorities you don't hear about them and assume they don't exist confirming your assumption whites are the only presence in media. To say nothing about how entitled you sound about the amount of minorities you "allow" to be represented.
>>64231728
Stop posting clickbait people of shit color articles. No one cares.
>>64241436
Sure he is.
>>64249782
Again, you are incorrect.
I don't add Asian filmmakers to the list with black and mixed-race Hispanic filmmakers because Asian (East Asian) filmmakers already have a quality thriving film market in Japan, South Korea, etc. (Of which I'm a big fan) I wish you wouldn't add Asians to your list just to boost your numbers as I said absolutely nothing negative about Asian filmmakers.
Again, you a dodging the question.
You are are saying that there should be more black people in movies. That is based on what logic exactly? Hypothetically speaking, if blacks were 45% of the population but only 20% of film roles, I would agree with you. But they are 12% of the population and around 17-20% of roles. So they are already overrepresented. So there should just be more for mores sake??
Whites already go out of their way to create roles for blacks (always fucking good guys too). If anything, Asians and mixed race Hispanics are slightly underrepresented and this is because there is so much focus on blacks.
>>64231728
>some chick writes some shit on the internetz
Opinion discarded.
I'm not going to read this thread, no offense to anyone posting, but I'm not going to read it because they're all exactly the same. I've been studying this for a minute and here's what I think the deal is.
They don't make big budget movies featuring non-white casts that often because the US is a white majority country. This is just a fact. Since the target demographic for these movies is still 18-25 year old white males, this just makes good business sense.
HOWEVER, when an article like this is written, it's usually (though not always) written by an SJW type who may or may not be a racist, but often works for someone who is who in turn, works for someone even more powerful than that. But whenever one of these articles is POSTED on a forum, here or elsewhere, it typically IS done by an active racist or else someone who works for one or else one who has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. The reason for the posting is that it is incredibly addicting for people, white and non-white racists alike and everyone in between, to actively fight and disagree about the content of the article, which was bait by design. It's a strategy and also a form of astroturfing. The powers that be don't actually believe in a revolution or a crusade by one side or another, they're interested in maintaining division, because division makes money. No one at the top really wants to fix the problem, they'd be out of a job. Don't know any white people in real life who say the stuff you see online, don't know any blacks who run around screaming we wuz kangs. These types of threads would have you convinced it's everybody though. The message being broadcast to you is, and always has been, identify with your group and thump your chest in unison until the very end, even though it's nonsense and it isn't going to change anything. The owners of this motherfucking place, the guys ten guys above the guys who sign your paycheck, do not want it any other way. Just my two cents though.

But Sokka and Katara are clearly dark-skinned in the show, and the people from the Fire Nation are clearly light-skinned. The movie reverses that.

That's the point. This is an edit of the original picture which is the same thing swapped around where they compare ugly asians with white models.
I remember in my early twenties I was good friends with this mexican family same age as me.
Their last name was lopez, anyway one night they mention how nice it is being white.
It was the strangest thing, I asked them what they meant by that and they tell me again that their race is white and they even check white on any forms that ask for ethnicity.
I'm pretty sure a good portion of mexicans in the U.S. have racial guilt and convince themselves they're just like us.
