The controversy around Scarlett Johansson playing the lead in the 2017 Ghost in the Shell live-action movie is related to this discussion, even though the character in that case is a little more nuanced. Someone might argue that it was different because it was a live-action portrayal instead of a voice portrayal so the representation is different. Or someone might argue that there's more Asian actresses in Hollywood who could've played the character than there are Asian voice actresses in the very, very small voice-acting community.

Or that the point of the series being we aren't these multi colored meat sacks and the Major isn't any of them necessarily and it should make us think a little bit on why some people are so dominantly if not solely defined by their pigment.
