Why do Asian roles all magically become white roles in movies?
>>69292720
You mean like Mercy in BvS?
OH WAIT
>>69292720
Asian countries have their own movie industries and intellectual properties.
>>69292760
This.
Have you seen other races represented in Asian media? It is equally atrocious.
A good example is le black man in the Japanese flick Outrage.
>>69292809
Just watched the movie eh?
Just because he wasn't portrayed like Samuel l Jackson doesn't mean it was atrocious.
>>69292720
Because Asians pay more to see Whites than they do Asians. The market cares not for social justice warring.
>>69292720
In this specific case, the character is Tibetan. That means if they present a real character on screen as such, China won't watch the movie. Like, they won't even let the movie appear in their Theaters. If they say the character is Chinese, it is also a confusing mess of political recrimination.
So instead of losing the money for 4 billion people, they just gave the role to whoever-the-fuck that is.

then why do we continue to worry about what piss colored slit eyed people in China think when making movies
>>69293002

China's nationalism and sense of self predates the printing press by a long while. Now that they're on the ascent again, you're going to have to wait a good long while before they drop their Chinese pride, regardless of your feelings on the matter.

Why do all love interests and side characters turn black in movies now? Why are they allowed to blackwash everyone that was white in source material? Wally West, Iris West, Jimmy Olsen (TV), Human Torch, Kingpin, Heimdall, Catwoman, Invisible Woman (Alba version)
>>69294540
>Kingpin
>black
>invisible woman
>black
>>69294540
>Invisible Woman (Alba version)
did you mean Mexican? And she's like 86% European, she's white as fuck.
>>69294657
Kingping was white, sorry for being wrong. And Alba is mexicant, so brown, not shit skinned. Close enough.

Remember when Angelina Jolie played a character that was based on Halle berry's likeness and no one complained?
>>69294738
>using an example from almost 10 years ago when the most recent version is white
Fuck off.
>>69292809
>A good example is le black man in the Japanese flick Outrage.
elaborate
>>69294540
>jessica alba is black
>>69294738
Alba is not black and the most recent Kingpin is white.
For this one specifically it's because the character in the comics is Tibetan and they didn't want the Chinese government from banning the movie from being shown there.
>>69294909
Thanks for not reading the thread and contributing a useless post, fucktard.
>>69292720
in the same movie there is a black guy which is also asians in the comics
why is no one screaming blackwashing?
>>69292870
>implying I expect blacks to behave like Sam L in movies
(You)
Also, making racist assumptions in a thread complaining about race issues? Bravo.

because hollywood is blatantly racist against asians and socially engineering them as negatively as they can
>>69292720
the real reason is The Ancient One hails from Tibet so they didn't want the added controversy of having to ackowledge Tibet within the chinese market where this movie will make the majority of its money.
Westerners are the least least racist group around
>>69294735
Don't let facts get in the way of a pol fag
>>69294928
don't ever fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread
>>69292720
because even asian people want to be white
>>69295008
This and only this.
It's the SJW's who are being racist.
The Ancient one ISN'T ASIAN
He's a Tibetan
>>69292809
well Asian countries aren't exactly as diverse as America is.
Can we discuss this step by step?
Okay
1. Negative asian stereotype
2. Do do not cast asian for the role
3. Cast white person
In many argument I see, argue for steps 1 and 2. How get to 3 from 1 and 2? Why not cast other race and be rid of stereotype and whitewashing controversy?
>>69295545
Hollywood is run by who? What race?
SAY IT WITH ME NOW
>>69295008
>>69295477
Completely untrue from some idiot writer
>>69295512
>Tibet
>not in Asia
Uh
>>69295580
1. You haven't seen the movie so your opinion is next to baseless.
2. You're being racist by assuming a kung fu master needs to be asian. :^)
3. See above, get rekt fgt
>>69293002
>they just gave the role to whoever-the-fuck that is
It's Tilda Swinton.
Also it's partly about marketability. Blockbusters need recognisable names to draw people in. Apart from that one guy in The Walking Dead (even then I doubt most people know the actor's name), and John Cho, name a recognisable Asian actor.
I love how tumblr called this "appropriation" when it's a character originally created by white people
>>69295845
>Also it's partly about marketability. Blockbusters need recognisable names to draw people in.
That's something Hollywood believes, but has no apparent basis in reality. Look at the number of star-studded bombs out there. Look at Chris Hemsworth's non-Marvel career. Look at Johnny Depp's record in the last fifteen years outside of Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm not sure WHAT exactly makes a movie a success, but it isn't "star power". There might be some people who choose to go to movies based on who is in them, but it clearly isn't enough to actually make or break a movie.
I don't think it can be said any more plainly than Hollywood has a problem with Asians, one that they're probably barely even conscious of having. It can't be explained by a lack of population, because while Asians are a "small" percentage of Americans, they're still an objectively large number of people (around eighteen million), and nearly one in three Asian-Americans is Californian, with them making up around 15% of the population - twice the black population. When you think about the local demographics, they have to be actively working *against* what they're seeing on the street when they get to casting.
>>69295845
>name a recognisable Asian actor.
Daniel Dae Kim.
>>69296554
All comics are made by Jewish people.
Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, Doctor Strange you name.
White people are fucking worthless.
>>69294738
>implying he wasn't the only good thing about that shit movie
There aren't many Asian actors in America, period. Why would Asians need to go into acting? They get well paid jobs doing computer stuff and shit like that. Acting is for meatheads and retards.
btw I am white but my wifes boyfriend who is Asian is standing behind me as I post.
>>69297026
Are you taking care of his wife's son?
Because whites are threatened by an equal playing field. Next question. Why are all cucklords white?
>>69297055
No we let this poor unfortunate black family down the street have him because they only had 9 kids and wanted more but the father of the family said he was too busy to keep having sex with his wife to make more themselves.

Yes we must make sure the asians get more involved with the whitewashing ''controversy''. The blacks and whites are falling for it but the mexicans and asians, eh not so much.

Chinks are such a fucking joke, they just lack the sense of humor one needs to get said joke.
>>69292720
Someone post that quote of the writer saying people were gonna get mad anyway, so they didn't care as much.
CINEMA
MATINEE
>>69296962
This is a good meme, but unfortunately, Ashkenazim are like the single most inbred ethnic group on the planet, which is why they have such high risk of diseases like Tay-Sachs and cystic fibrosis.
Would've been better to cast a chinese actor and change the setting from Tibet. White people doing karate and chinese parables are fucking stupid.
