haha what a joke dude. it's okay to change a white character but not an asian one because white people control hollywood. give me a break. regardless of whether the latter's true, that is a total bullshit, racist argument.

Boyz in the Hood is a racist movie because it portrays black people as gangbangers and stereotypes so we should have had Shia LeBouf play Ice Cube's part instead.

so what you're saying is that the avatar movie shouldn't be made at all because it's a no-win situation?

this is the best idea you've ever had, thank god GUYS PROTEST THE AVATAR MOVIE FOR BEING COMPLETELY DUMB, NOT FOR BEING RACIST!!!!

Jesus man, do I really need to respond to this? I never said anything about being okay to change a white character to an Asian one (in Hollywood), and really, this is not even a subject of debate. Can you name any "white movie characters" in the American film industry that have been replaced by a person of color? Very few. Denzel Washington in Taking of Pelham 123 remake don't count... maybe the fact that David Jaffe wants Djimon Hounsou to be Kratos? It's barely an issue so why does it matter if it's okay to change a white character but not an Asian character.

And the fact that you have to say "regardless of whether the latter's true", come on dude. It's kind of been well known for a long time how the Hollywood studio system works and all.

"bullshit, racist argument" my ass man. Every time you've posted in this topic you've just pissed me of

Yes, I thought this was obvious from the get-go.

Again, I don't understand why Gaming World is the only place that argues with me about this shit.

dude here is what you said maybe 10 posts up in responce to ROBERT NEVILLE (white-black).

The Last Airbender was a clear cut opportunity for a Hollywood film to have positive Asian heroes, etc. etc. I don't know about you, but myself and many other minorities in the States do/did not have heroes just like them on television in our youths, and we all know how much influence television has on children. And not Jackie Chan.

So don't try to talk about how the white community should be pissed because they get all the attention in Western media.

We don't share your opinions. There's a difference.

What do you think about Will Smith playing Oh Daesu in the US remake of Old Boy?

It's not a remake, the "remake" is based directly off the comic book and not Park Chan Wook's adaption.

Also, I don't care until it actually starts filming, remakes and adaptions get casted all the time but never come out. Like, I love Infernal Affairs and The Departed, I don't mind Leonardo DiCaprio taking Tony Leung Chiu-Wai's spot at all.

Just letting ya'll know, I'm invalidating everything rajew has said because I just found out today that he has no idea who Charlie Chan, Fu Man-Chu are, nor any knowledge about Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's nor anything relating to the shitty potrayal of Asian people in Hollywood.

So if you have no idea what I am talking about, without looking at Wikipedia, it's best you leave this topic.
