As an Asian American it does kinda piss me off that this movie, the last Dragonball Z (a Japanese cartoon with an all white cast) movie, take away the Asian influence almost entirely.

freshnesschronic, it is my understanding that manga ("anime") characters have been illustrated, traditionally, with western features. This is because the pioneers of manga animation were heavily influenced by the success of Walt Disney, and emulated the Disney illustration style. In other words, characters in Japanese cartoons have NEVER been depicted with Asian features.
In this context, how is the "racism of Hollywood" to blame for a style originated in Asia, by Asians?
