That's...........the depressingly gutless part of Japan I was referring to...though there are instances of the country being disgustingly gutless, this is a major one. Every country has a flaw they should work on, this is Japan's....that, and just admit they did something bad and apologize to Korea and China already. 
If the Lion King/Kimba the White Lion situation is any indication...as long as you're rich and popular enough, which Holly definately is, you can get away with pretty much anything. That is...obviously a bad thing. |

Totally unacceptable.
If a US film company were to start using white actors to play black characters there would be a national outrage. But if it's a Japanese character there is virtually nothing said. The actors unions really need to hammer this one hard. It's hard enough for a Japanese\Chinese\Korean-America to find a role in a big movie as it is, without movie execs giving Asian parts to white actors. These days, if you're Asian, and you want a speaking role, your move or less being shoehorned into playing a computer\math geek, a cook in a Chinese restaurant, or something involving martial arts. The Japanese IPR holders should start putting in an "Asian" clause. To force Us studios not only for US companies to set Asian remakes in Asia, but to ensure that Asian actors get the lead roles. |
