I did. Anything else? Maybe I should take a racial sensitivity course before looking at your threads?

or you could just learn you can go through your whole life being offended if you don't develop a thicker skin.

I can only imagine how many disappointed Asian American children will flock to the theaters only to see that their animated heroes are now depicted by White actors who could never truly empathize with their distinct Asian cultural roots.

So I should just bow down to the man clod? That's my thicker skin? I live in a white world everyday and accept it. So I cant have this opinion? Sorry for bringing this issue to light for you. Just ignore it and it'll go away for you.

Bullshit. You live in a world full of people. So while you mope around in a "my sociology professor says I'm oppressed" kind of way don't be surprised when you don't get a lot of sympathy. It is bullshit, plain and simple. There is not one opportunity you don't have that is available to the cracker sitting next to you. That was, unfortunately, not always true but the country has and is changing and you need to quit looking for ways to be a victim.

What issue? Some nerds liked a cartoon made in america using some chinese symbols and imagery that was successful enough that a hollywood studio decided to make a movie based on it. They cast the actors they thought, rightly or wrongly, would make the movie most successful. Some nerds who liked the cartoon are upset because... the non-asian cartoon characters were played by non-asian actors? Not much of an issue unless you're just looking for a way to be offended.
