All the actors should be Japanese, since they are Japanese characters. Is it a big deal? No, this movie is a Hollywood money gab anyway.

They were never all Japanese characters, and the "white girl" character is just a robot with a human brain. Which is why this outrage campaign manages to be more idiotic than all the other ones this decade.

She is Japanese though. Her brain and body in the original movie and show are Japanese. I don't think there should be all this outrage, but I was just pointing out the reasoning behind it.

Ironically the Japanese film industry is making a Full Metal Alchemist live action movie right now with all Japanese actors even though it takes place in Europe.

A topic of the BCT led by people like Slayven, a "Wow what the fuck" RinsFury and quality sites like Slate/Salon... NeoGAF, everyone.

Ghost in the Shell's ending spurs new accusations of even worse whitewashing - NeoGAF

'The perfect person in these movies, the thing they say everyone is striving to be, is the mind of a Japanese woman put inside a white woman’s body. '

'This manages to make Ghost in the Shell’s racial politics even more groanworthy (and, judging from the screening I attended, laughable) than previously imagined. '

'The Major was Japanese all along. '

'Her brain, the film reveals, was transplanted into the body of Scarlett Johansson. '

'In the Major’s previous life, we’re told, she was a woman named Mira Killian. '

This has been an automated message.

Eh... I think I might be a nazi after all. Because I can't see what's wrong with the twist. It's no big deal. Gaffots are overreacting as usual. I bet the Japanese don't give a fuck.

Love how they get upset for Asians when there aren't any trannies, gays or black people to hold their interest.

Asians are waaaay down on the oppression scale.
