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. '

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

I love how people whine when Hollywood remakes an Asian movie and casts non-Asian actors, but these same people are completely fucking silent when Asian studios adapt American films and cast Asian actors. When a film is ADAPTED it is ADAPTED. They need to look up the definition of that word.

Make Spider-Man black. Make Bond black. Make Indiana Jones black. Make the ancient Egyptians black. Make ancient Greece black. Make current-year Europe black.
You know why? Because people like Slayven can't stand being black. And because white cucks like marrec weren't aborted.

Because they have to piss and moan about something. Reportedly the Japanese loved they were able to secure an A-list actor for the movie and didn't give a fuck about her race.

April fool's day: the one day when Gaffots are normal.

Was surprised not seeing Messofanegro in there shrieking alongside the rest of them. Looks like he's been banned.

Scarlett may just identify as an Asia woman. I'm pretty sure that Malka's cock identifies as an Asian clit.
We're all trans. Why is Gaf close-minded?

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.
