despite all that they don't have political representation, social power, or racial protection. they're just in a nicer box where they're grinded for labor when they have a bamboo ceiling because they aren't perceived as leaders or need to be catered to because they'll just roll over. media representations is a big factor with their oppression. hell you can't make fun of asians and use a blatant stereotype and people will just laugh along. how far will they get irl if this is the norm? just sidekicks and useful nerds and low-power doctors.

Funny you should say that, OP's video says the same thing (though she said she doesn't care for Scarlet as an actress in general). Her concern is more about the director/staff and if they will capture the themes and setting of the original film. For her that is far more important than whatever outrage whitewashing could bring about

She also has a video about being disappointed with the 2016 Ghostbusters trailer and a follow-up on Sony's comment-deleting tactics to make criticism come off as sexism only.

what? the water girl was meant to be an inuit or something. maybe a finnish suomi. Fire nation was broadly based on somewhere from southern asia (and they cast an indian guy to play him). Aang is from a made up kingdom based on china but was deliberately made to look racially ambiguous so that western kids could relate to him when they watched him. Based on the viewer demographics for north america they chose a white kid, just like the white kids watching the film.
>gits

pls find me an actual real life analogue with the water nation that isn't inuits or suomi.
The only culture that was definitely based on china was air but as i said, it was a north american cartoon so they made the characters look pretty racially ambiguous so kids could imagine they were the characters. In terms of the actual film they chose white kids cos the majority of viewers would be white
>hollywood whitewashing literally modern daycolonization with subverting and destroying unique cultural values for bland white crap
hahahaha yes. Im sure japanese people will consume this en masse and suddenly abandon their culture and all wear cowboy hats and eat steaks. Let me ask you this, would you genuinely have a problem if, say, a nigerian director decided to remake the Shining with a nigerian cast? The Shining has some pretty culturally unique interpretations of family, childhood and relationships.

It's just amusing how hard the white supremacists on /tv/ are pushing this. They are so insecure that everything in the world has to remind them of their supreme whiteness.

Mostly white people do.
But then who is the arbiter of who is casted as what? Does every movie have to be a living pie chart of the whole country? To what end?

This just seems to me like a confirmation of the fact that multiculturalism does not work. Japan has a real culture, its people are community minded and aren't divided in groups based on ethnicity or economic class. In the US, people are constantly at each others throats over the most petty shit. Society is dead.

No. So stop fucking shitposting and actually make an argument.
>yes appealing to white people means they turned the villains of the film dark too
Ah you've enlightened me. CLEARLY M Night Shyamalan, the INDIAN director, wanted to push a narrative that white people are good and indian people are evil. This was his white supremacist plan all along.
>strawman
It's literally exactly the same. A culturally unique film being remade by someone from another culture.
>asians are forced to accept white versions of their own material
Who the fuck is forcing you? you pointed out that its ASIAN material. If you don't like white films then watch asian films. It's not as if there isnt a japanese film industry. You aren't forced to consume any media.
Okay, if a Nigerian director isn't the same in your view, what about a korean or japanese director? those film industries are very important (so's the nigerian film industry in Africa but you've decided to write it off so whatever). Also Hollywood doesn't dictate worldwide perceptions, if you lived outside of america you would know this.

i always thought ghost in the shell was about the way that right after ww2 Japan was left pretty directionless and all the money that was poured into the military and so on suddenly went into technology. The culture was still neurotic and wanted a sense of direction but the closest they could get to it was technological progress. Might well be misreading it though

Pretty sure Bond body is from a scottish man. Unlike Makoto that can change to different body when she wants, she could be using a japanese model or even a mexican model if she wanted.
Her default body on the movie is a really generic one, white woman with blue eyes and black hair, which is meant to be quite similar to the body of the puppet master(white woman with pale eyes and hair). And her body not being what it defines her is an important point of the plot
>>
>>68777626
>italy and greece have a brown skin tone
They don't.

>Mexicans, middle east people
That's not everyone. And most Middle Eastern are olive skinned and not brown like Subsaharan Africans.

>Filipos are also brown
They're not as brown as you think. They're olive skinned.

Also, my statement contained a conjunction. It's not just looking black in skin color but also the nose, big mouths, and hair.

Your shitty arguments look a lot like the WE WUZ KINGS argument afrocentrist make when they steal Egyptian history by claiming some Africans have that skin tone. Well, no shit. But they don't have the rest of the features.
>>
>>68777876
>she could be using a japanese model or even a mexican model if she wanted.
She doesn't use a Mexican model. She uses Japanese.

Race is an identity. People typically would choose a cyborg that has an appearance of their race, unless they're mentally ill like transgenders.

>really generic one
>white woman with blue eyes and black hair,
Nothing generic about a minority, and yes whites are a minority not only in Japan but also in the world.

>And her body not being what it defines her is an important point of the plot
Not to the point of changing race.

The skin color is where the similarity stops with that picture. The other features are also the hair which looks mostly Sub Saharan and the features.

It's about an amalgamy of feautres, not just one. Yes, mexicans may have the same skin color as an Ethiopian but that doesn't mean they have the lips, hair, nose that they do. Lots of Chinese have white skin, but they don't look like Europeans.

Heck, even fellow Caucasians like Middle Easterners and Northern Europeans look different. The former have typically bigger and longer noses. One has different skin tone
for some. This is obvious and only has to be explained to someone who's never seen people of different origins or is intentionally being idiotic (or maybe not intentionally).
It's the same reason why WE WUZ KINGS retards are wrong.

>>68778275
Better than Johansson.

And it doesn't matter that Motoko has blue eyes. Some Japanese have blue eyes, albeit that's rare. Johansson has Green eyes anyway.

>>68778305
You have no evidence and no argument. Also, you're retarded for denying that race is a big portion of people's identity, probably stronger than even gender.

There have been wars fought because of race. It goes without saying that people would choose a cyborg that looks like their race (if they're not mentally ill). To deny that aspect of humanity, is pure ignorance.

And claiming that her being Japanese isn't the main point is like claiming James Bond being white isn't the main point. It obviously is, it's just doesn't need to be explicitly stated. You don't need to state to mentally healthy people that race is an important thing to someone.

All the people arguing about cyborgs like it makes any better are just employing mental gymnastics.

(never read the spin off LNs so I can't say all)

i like you.

whites enjoy the willingness of others that acknowledge their inherent superiority; they'll have lovely words for you as long as you don't threaten their social conceptions as african americans are always doing. african americans, having no centuries old, tangible history with which to relate, would be much farther along if they had simply decided to accept white man's social conventions- but their progression would be superficial and fundamentally averse to their autonomy. not to mention, they would even more become puppets of a network that intensely disrespects them.

asian americans have money, something blacks have struggled to attain due to centuries of culturally accepted images and teachings of self hatred and dubious inferiority conditioning. for white americans, as long as your population remains in the low percentages, your money concentrated within your own communities, and culture produces no contrasts with theirs, you will be heralded as honorary whites. and as an asian, could there be a more horrid achievement?

Admittedly, Motoko appears racially ambiguous enough such that she could be played by either an asian woman or white woman. There have been conceptions of her that look far more japanese than she does in the 1st animated film. However, there are things about Motoko's appearance that are uniquely japanese like her hair and other aspects of her character.

The problem lies in the exotic nature of her character within the series. The appeal of western audiences is that Motoko isn't your typical white insert; her motivations and actions are guided by something reasonable yet wholly different from what western audiences are accustomed to seeing. Her design suits the setting and informs the audience of how this futuristic japan comes into being. Fans of the series won't like the substitution given how out of place it seems.

Motoko is also very beautiful, her skills are obvious and unmistakeable given her body type. She's supposed to be tough AND look tough. Hollywood has it's problem portraying characters like Motoko- Scarjo hasn't really improved on its problems either.

Hell, I wouldn't have minded seeing Bae Doon play Motoko- at least her punches and kicks look like they'd hurt. She was so good in Sense8.
