A few weeks ago, Scarlett Johansson was heavily criticized by the general public for being cast to play a transgender role in an upcoming film, a role that should have been reserved specifically for someone who identifies as transgender, apparently.
Lets play make believe and say the roles were reversed and a really talented transgender actress was denied the opportunity to play a character in a film who wasn't transgender? There would be a public outrage. So I'm asking, why is it okay one way and not the other? less
LudoKaiIt's not considered racist though. That's the point. Places like America are known for white-washing. That's not racist.

Places like America are known for white-washing. That's not racist. Taking a character and adding your own spin to it isn't racist, it's just a different interpretation but when you're judging someone and their role based on the colour of their skin then that's racist and that's literally what you did. It's pure idiocy. Then saying things like "This is the society we live in" hell no. I live in a country where something like that may gain critique on how the actor is portrayed, how the script is etc. You having a problem because the character is being portrayed by someone of a different skin colour is idiotic.
Again, you made base assumptions on the movie being a direct portrayal of the novels when it clearly isn't and you keep trying to act like society as a whole is generally the same when it clearly isn't.
I'd love to keep giving you these burns but it's like 5:30am and I need a shower so I'll give you time to think about any valid points you'd... less

Also calm down with the rage. Be smart and put something into a single comment rather than getting upset and adding more because replying to more of your idiocy whilst initially replying to your idiocy is fairly taxing xD

I just explained everything above while you were busy typing out a bible rehashing the same pointless drivel you've already gone over several times. Let know when you read my latest comments and then get back to me. lol

TheLotusEaterYou also still have not answered a single question that I've asked you, yet you keep calling me the idiot. So I'm going to ask one last time, but because you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, I know I'm probably not going to get an answer.

1. Where did I ever identify as being American / Living in America?
2. Is it or is it not a double standard to call a white guy playing a black character "whitewashing" while calling a black guy playing a white character "progressive"?
3. If it is hypocritical and is a double standard, why is that okay? less
