s0nicfan 08/29/17 10:46:06 PM #9:	From the other topic: s0nicfan posted... Cookie Bag posted... s0nicfan posted... Wait... so he didn't like playing a mixed-race Asian because he felt it wasn't the place for a white person to take the role, but then describes himself a mixed-heritage. Is he just self-hating or something? He fully understands how casting a white actor for a mixed-race Asian is not "right" since he's mixed-heritage as well, i don't see that as self-hating at all... the character he's playing is mixed-race. He is mixed-race. It seems like the only "problem" in this equation is that he has "white" in his mix and the other doesn't. EDIT: So I looked up the character history, and the character is mixed white and asian. His father was a Vietnam vet and his mother was an assassin. So being part white is actually accurate for the character. Here's what he looks like: He's literally a white guy. The actor is insane. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
