This is a myth. When they stole the idea for kung fu from bruce lee, they used the same reasoning. Supposedly no one would watch because he wasn't white. But as we all know Bruce Lee not only could carry a film, he was an amazing lead. Your bs excuses are invalid. Bruce Lee is legend and David Carradine is not. Media is a form of thought influence so carefully selecting who is shown and in what context is critical.

They hire whoever is the best for the role and whoever will bring in the most people. If that's not an asian person they don't care, they care about profit and they make the most by hiring the big name actors it's that's simple.

The racial identity of the actor is only important if it's relevant to the story or plot. In this case the movie is very much about racial/national allegiances and so a Hawaiian actor probably would have been better for the role.

I get why people are upset. But there is some hypocrisy here because some,not all, of these same people are upset when characters that are white in their creation are played by white actors and they want these characters to be protrade by people of other ethnicity. It goes back and forth. We will never find a happy compromise.

"The Wall" was not whitewashing. Damon's character was a white European who was made fun of for cultural ignorance almost the entire movie.
