Do you recall 'The Crying Game' and receiving critcal acclaim? Guess Hollywierd did welcome from the Old Globe's Queen's country such roles. So why not an Asian female role by a non-Asian actress or a white actor in a black character role?

Or an Asian actor potray a white character (it's acting for a white man potray a yellow man or a black man playing a white man, so how about an other combo)? Or even white actresses given roles of Asian female characters? Until these are common, the only logical conclusion is an accepted institutional and social racism in the media. By the way Othello has always been played by a white actor until the sixties. Can we go back and why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-74454592085594399222012-11-06T03:50:15.192+13:002012-11-06T03:50:15.192+13:00Anon 3:54 PM said, I ask again, why is using non-...Anon 3:54 PM said, <i> I ask again, why is using non-Asian male actor in Asian character role so easily accepted?</i><br /><br />Because it is called ACTING, not REAL LIFE.

It was explain that the scene was set to have only two actors: Murphy and Hall. In tropic thunder, I did recall objection to Downey's portray, but was quickly overwhelmed by the mental disability controvercy. Otherwise I'd think the race baiters would have attacked. Now in everyone of the pseudo-Asian character, there is really no need to cast non-Asian MALE actors (and almost always male characters, not FEMALE characters). I ask again, why is using non-Asian male actor in Asian character role so easily accepted? Answer Hollywood is racist and they should be called to task for their offense on what they've accused others. Hypocrits are worse than their accused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-85436809653394839512012-11-03T02:11:27.936+13:002012-11-03T02:11:27.936+13:00Annon 11:56, the question remain, why not use a bl...Annon 11:56, the question remain, why not use a blacked face white actor? Also the movie didn't use a white female for an Asian female character. Can't a non-Asian female act the role more convicingly? I wonder?
