How so?

Oh so true, since all asians look a alike why not have some Chinese or Korean pretend to be Japanese...Racist jerk. go crawl back under your rock.

That is one way to think of it. But I think if you watched the amine and understood that Ghost in the Shell is in the future after WW3 and America is pretty much a nuked to hell and most of the american are living in japan.

I don’t think you understood the movie. the idea is that it was in the future. Not all asian in the movie looked like the picture above. That was what they thought people would look like when all of the races blended together because of all of the diversity, inter racial marriages, and selective gene therapy.

You probably have not seen the anime, but let me help you out. In Ghost in the Shell WW3 happened between the USA and China, and the USA got nuked hard. lots of american now live in Japan and there are also a lot of happas ( half japanese and half caucasian). The three main characters are caucasian. You are getting…

Why would anyone be offended that they cast caucasian to play caucusing roles? Motoko, Batou, and the puppetmaster are all caucasian in the anime. Are you saying that people will not go see this movie because the extras and not japanese? The people in the background?

Why do you think a japanese women would be a better person to play the part of a tall light skinned blue eyed robot?

Who is japanese? The Major? The blue eyed robot that Johansson is playing is japanese? I would be just as offended if the extras were Chinese or Korean playing Japanese people. I hate to point this out, but the female lead(the Major), the male lead(Batou) and the villain(puppet master) are all caucasians in the anime.…

Close... but not quite. Tell me, what ethnicity is R2-D2? Because it is the same ethnicity as Kusangi. Robot. Or am I wrong and I my toaster, cell phone and TV all have the ethnicity of the place they were manufactured? If that is the case, would that make me Chinese because all of the stuff I have and use is made in…

Really? So name the seven samurai and their counterparts in star wars. I’ll wait... for you to realize that you are so wrong

Looked japanese? like tall, blue eyes and light skin? I have never seen a japanese that fits that description. You have not watched the anime have you?

yeah, I think you nailed it. The japanese actors probably did not look caucasian enough to play the caucasian roles, so they got caucasians to play those roles. The problem is that all of you SJW assume that since it is anime that it must be some “asian” people and get all triggered and spam the studio’s twitter…

Or they could explain it this way. The Major is a robot. So the last time it got to pick out its shell, it chose a shell that looked caucasian. And here is a crazy twist they could do. In the end Major goes into hiding, after being put into a shell of a child. Kind of like the way the shinto japanese people believe…

Did you see the anime? No one ever called it Motoko. Also, it is not a her. It is a robot. It is kind of the whole point of the movie. The big focal point of the movie is when she is in the water sinking, she is talking about if her body is a robot and her mind if digital is there any human left of her in the first…

Almost as silly as your comment. By the way, how many japanese people do you think live in america? They make up less than 1% of the US population. That whole sticking-them-in-concentration-camps against their will during WWII kind of make a lot of japanese not want to live here so much. Go figure.. Oh and since you…

Your reading comprehension is suspect...But don’t let that stop you from jumping to conclusions

Hey... Take it easy on Gogogadgetanything. He is new to this whole white guilt SJW stuff. He just thinks that the trope of nerds and geeks are exclusive to white males. He has no idea how diverse and open-minded we are, but we can certainly tell when someone is not a geek or nerd. Case in point... Gogogadgetanything…

Not me. I identify as an attack helicopter. Racist much?

Funny, I always thought that japanese people like diversity, and made their anime to include many different people from all kinds of different backgrounds. In particular Ghost in the Shell had all kinds of different ethnicities for their main characters. Some have colored eyes and one even has blond hair, qualities…

What if I told you that the asian character is a light skinned robot with blue eyes who is rather tall for a japanese woman? The anime took place in a diverse world and more than just the main character was not japanese. Stop be a triggered racist, and go watch the anime. It might help you become a little more color…
