Darmik posted...Because most of the times white characters are white because it's the default race to be. So their race generally isn't notable or relevant to the character. Darmik posted... I can't speak about this character specifically since I know nothing about Hellboy. Maybe it is relevant. Or maybe it isn't but he's seen as one of the few relevant Asian characters in comics/Hellboy and people got disappointed when they cast a white guy. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

It does kinda seem like Hollywood tries to avoid casting Asian actors in general. Even if they're adapting Asian stories and characters.
Exceptions are generally made for cliché kung-fu sorta stuff. Obviously there are exceptions but stuff like Ghost in the Shell speaks for itself. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Asian males typically get stuck playing a stoic who is constantly practicing abstinence, lol. when we finally start casting superstars, they're well out of their primes.

He's smart to not take the role, so he wouldn't face any backlash like Tilda Winton or ScarJo. He's nice enough to pass off the job with the hopes that it will go to an Asian actor (mixed or otherwise) who would usually not get the opportunity given Hollywood's tendency to pull this kind of stuff.
It was a classy move, regardless if he did it after the initial backlash. --- http://i.imgur.com/QoIYepz.gif Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If they're smart, they'll do a Japanese-American. It would be pretty dumb to cast another white dude.

People need to shut the fuck up about this shit. He was going to play a comic character who isn't real. So why are people getting butthurt over a fictional character.
Now if the character was an actual person, that really existed. THEN I could sort of understand the out rage. (I'd still tell to eat a dick.). But, a fictional character? Just shut the fuck up. --- It's far better to be alive than to be dead ... Copied to Clipboard!

XplodnPnguins92 posted...i hear there's a white character in the movie that will be played by a black woman. no one will outrage over that though because reasons. Could it be because hollywood is filled with talented white people and has a lack of other races living/working there? Gasp! You mean they should be outsourcing roles to people who may not be as good just because of their race? How does Bollywood handle this? Or Chinese film companies? Etc? --- --- MaverickXeo --- ...

this country was literally founded on identity politics No it wasn't. That's just some revisionist history that the modern movement has created to make themselves seem more legitimate. Ignoring the fact that the phrase didn't even exist until the 1970s, the founding fathers actively warned AGAINST the kind of tribalism that identity politics creates which is why John Adams and George Washington were both against the concept of political parties. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
