It's ok if you race-change to a white person mostly because Hollywood is majority white and the American demographic is majority white.

If race isn't an integral part of the character. I don't worry too much about adaptations where the attitude and portrayal of the character are more important than getting a physically close actor. Hugh Jackman was perfect as Wolverine even if he's like a foot and a half taller.

But when a character's race is integral to who they are, they should just keep it that way. A white Black Panther would be fucking retarded, just as an example.

I also generally prefer it if in reboots or continuations characters stay the race they were. Saul Tigh being white instead of black was a bit weird at first but Michael Hogan was so awesome I wound up not giving a shit.

Again, you don't see the irony in your posts. You are playing a victim, whining about your OPRESSION.

I'm not denying the fact that white people have been discriminated against and are being discriminated against, but with SJWs being hated by most, such an event of white genocide is unlikely.

Quit being a loser and fuck off back to stormfront where you can circle jerk about how Jews and minorities are ruining your life, you subhuman retard.

No, this particular casting choice (Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One) is to steer away from the ridiculous stereotypical ancient Chinese martial arts master.

When it isnt really important to the character, ie their nationality or locality or historic perspective or they arent iconic. Also if the family name is ambigious.

Most of the time Hollywood fucks it up and just makes white characters black for muh diversity, or Asian characters white/half white because they think Western audiences wont relate to Asians (but love BBC as much as the average Jewish American does).

I hate to admit it, but basically this. America and the west is white... For now. We arent the world even though we export our films. Its OK for movies to reflect the dominant ethnic group. As it has been historically.

Im totally fine seeing Asia re-imagine Western stories or stories with Western characters and casting them as Asian. I dont get mad or refuse to see them on the grounds of Asian-washing or w/e. If it was well written and not just full of Japanese idols I could be down for a cowboy or knight themed all Asian movie. But probably not if it was made in the US and was just pandering bs.

By being racially ambivalent, you contributing to your race's dispossession and eventual destruction; you should oppose multiracialism even if you don't have any moral attachment to your race because there are real deleterious consequences wrought by multiracialism (such as increased crime and lowered social capital).

Also, that image is fucking retarded; I'm not even white; I just hate cucks and am redpilled enough on HBD to oppose WD

>dude, diversity casting means that white men are going to be denied ALL ACTING JOBS IN HOLLYWOOD WAAAAAHHHH

You never said whites would be denied all roles:

>No one is going to deny white people roles,

Ergo, my point still stands.


>Yeah by their own choice, not for what the media tells others

>look mum, I moved the goalposts again

Bitch, you claimed white dispossession wasn't happening:

>there's no white genocide occurring.

If even if their choices weren't being influenced by (((media and academia))), its still a retarded and fucked choice that should be intensely criticized.

>It may surprise you, but England itself is a majority white, and with UKIP on the rise, immigration will be controlled.

Hopefully, but if SJWs had their way then England would likely become majority non-white.

Also, the Muslim minority is extremely deleterious and parasitical; Pakistani gangs raped thousands of English girls in Rotterdam whilst the multiculturalist police covered it up.

>Riiiiggghhhhhtt because Milo Yiannopolous as well as other hosts like David Rubin aren't getting any traction or attention.

SJWs are only a facet of a wider issue; neither of those people are white nationalists and the main issue is immigration and white dispossession.

>When are race changes in an adaptation ok?
>adaptation

It's always ok because you're making an adaptation, you're already changing things and no changes are off limits as long as the change fits the new adaptation of the story that you are making. Honestly no changes should be off-limits because the best adaptations aren't 1:1 anyway, they are the ones that took a lot of liberties with the source material and made something better as a result. JAWS the movie is way the hell better than the book, and very different, same with Jurassic Park, the Lord of the Rings films, etc...

And, there would more crime, more socialism, and lowered social and genetic capital as well the moral repugnance of whites being in minority in their own fucking country.

To me, when it's a fictional race.
I don't really care when a race is changed, though. I just don't get why one would bother, and that goes for whatever race it is.

>>69764654

Some media adapts better than others, I'm sure that there are Lord of the Rings purists out there that are spitting mad that the films didn't include x,y, or z and would argue that those movies should have been 10 hour long bloated exposition-heavy sloughs in order to be as faithful to the book as possible.

You're adapting the material and what works best in a comic isn't going to work best on screen, same thing goes for video games and books and any other media swapping.

>and including minorities in films isn't a moral obligation.

>>69764765

It's not that it's complex (although it is) it's just that "racism" explains fuck all.
Is racism the same as it was in the 50s? Of course not, but if it's the cause of disparities then why does the g gap persists?
If blacks score lower in IQ tests because of da whitey bias, why do han chinese from rural china score higher than blacks and whites?

Honestly, I don't care how many things get black-washed. Or traditional European characters/stories get darker skin tones.

The real thing is, they need to dig into the ENTIRE CONTINENT of culture and pull out stories from that. That way everyone HAS to be black or whatever and then we get to experience a culture/lore/mythology that isn't MUH BIBLE, MUH ANGLO-SAXON YUROP HISTORY, MUH literally fucking anything else.

Even if there ISN'T enough mythology, fuck it- MAKE IT UP.

In MCU, Wakanda is a giant "what if" country.
As in, "What if there was just ONE country in all of Africa that didn't get fucked over by invasion, or warlords, and developed their own Economy/Technology/Culture etc.

It's just lazy and that's the part that chaps Normal ass people's asses. There's nothing NEW about making a white character black when they're making the same damn movie every time.

Fuck. Creed is the same as Rocky I but in reverse. Black kid who grew up with everything STILL has something to prove. Also fucking Rocky is in it, As fucking Rocky. It was a natural continuation while being a sequel and still bringing something new.
