Rue was black in the book. There are multiple mentions of her reminding the main character of her blonde sister, despite Rue having ‘dark skin and eyes’.

I don’t think Rue was ever supposed to be white, she wasn’t described as caucasian.
Rue was African-American in the book. Re-read it.
Louis C.K’s real life ex-wife IS black.
THE PINNACLE OF A STORIED CAREER.
I work full time looking to call BS on the DoD where it actually exists. Neither Russia or the US are completely innocent in this regard, far from it, but the Russian media machine is an entirely different animal. If you think this is bias analysis so be it, but I would read through my work, I think you will find it…
We’re going to act like there is not a history of white washing in Hollywood here now? We’re going to act like this decision was made in a vacuum and not in a society were is ok to have white people playing non Caucasian people all the damn time right? Bizarrely I never see mixed race people casted to play white…
I mean, people may be surprised to know that Chad Michael Murray is a quarter Japanese and Mark-Paul Gosselaar is a quarter Indonesian, but they could’ve gotten Kristen Kreuk or Olivia Munn and called it a day. It was truly a missed opportunity.
I have cousins who are 1/2 Korean, and their kids look decidedly Caucasian. But seriously - it doesn’t matter that it’s possible for people who are part-Asian to “pass” and that somehow makes Emma Stone playing this character okay. There are plenty of part-Asian actors who could have played this role instead but I…
I agree with the outrage here. I do. But a quarter Asian person will mostly look super white. I know a few, and one in particular has the fairest skin and the blondest hair. My own half-Asian children have curly light brown hair. Genetics, yo. That said, They should have gone half-white, not full white. It was a…
And I called $20 on someone 1/2 Asian being cast - I'm still in!
Brenda Song is Half Chinese (Hmong to be exact) and Half Thai, so there’s that, but she is also already 27, and played a slightly crazy chick (who gives Andrew Garfield’s character some oral action) in The Social Network, so Disney might take a pass on her. Not spotless enough, perhaps?
Hollywood has no excuse for not being able to find a Chinese actress. All this took for me was a 10 second Google search: http://top10for.com/top-10-hottest…
Yes god forbid we not pander to internal Asian race-hate.
Thanks for the nightmares, Polish.
GIRL.
Mark Schrayber is the only white Mulan I would accept.
Mark Shrayber would be infinitely better than Meghan Fox.
