Hollywood Indirect Racism

[freshnesschronic]

I just read this awesome article about Hollywood racism. The movie "The Last Airbender".

It's how white actors are cast into movies based off an Asian story, replacing the Asian characters with a white cast. And the only people who look remotely ethnic are the villains, who contrast distinctly compared with the white actors.

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.

The characters and the setting are in China for this movie...so why are all the characters white?? Jeez....just putting it out there...
