Yeah, nobody gives a damn. We only do.

I'm not bothered by "white-washing", largely because it's a petty side issue for me. But it can get a bit tiring hearing white people determining what ought or ought not be considered racially offensive.

I'm half Chinese, and Australia is a very culturally diverse place - but our commercial TV is wall-to-wall white people. In the West, one's skin colour is for most white people something they rarely have to think about. For many non-whites, it's something that is thought about on a regular and frequent basis since childhood. Cut them some slack if some of them seem sensitive about it :lol
 
Yes, it's most certainly whitewashing, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm only saying there's an aspect in the IP itself that makes the race swap, creatively valid...

As I said in my rep comment, I'm not entirely convinced... but I defer to your superior knowledge of the IP :duff

I have no opinion of what's going on in the MCU, but I was watching Bad Grandpa last night and I was outraged that they couldn't find a real octogenarian to play that role.
 
The problem with Scarlett is we've seen so much of her we know pretty much what to expect.

Emma Watson... :drool
