Well meaning white Americans have also told me how much they admire my country and my culture. Uh, you mean USA?

case in point: marginalization in our own damn country, i.e. USA

Once again, I feel sorry for that other Chris Evans.

You have to cast to the story and setting, Hollywood. Ghost in the Shell is extremely Japanese. If you're making a Fullmetal Alchemist or Attack on Titan film then go nuts with white actors.

I always said, name like Motoko Kusanagi, I bet she comes from a good Jewish family in Michigan.

I don’t think it was just a Japanese story.

For all the stupid racist shit on kinja-fueled blogs, it still is bit a shock to see asians described as having “really fucked up eyes.” Nice work, dipshitski.

Yes, it’s an “international story” ... All the heroes are white but our sidekicks have never been so cosmopolitan before!

We not only erased her ethnicity from the film, we also erased her name! That’s better, right?

“Fucked up eyes”. Really. Thanks for the contribution, Cletus.

Yet you feel the need to comment here. Go away and read somewhere that writes more to your liking.

As an Asian I have few misgivings that a Caucasian was cast for the role and really more bummed out that they went with Johansson. There are actual actors out there you know.

Honestly, it would of been even less racist if he hadn’t said anything.

So “international” is “white and pretty”? Okay, guys.

Ghost in the shell canon says that Motoko Kusanagi had japanese parents.

“There [are] all sorts of people and nationalities in the world in Ghost in the Shell.”

Ghost in the Shell is NOT an “international story” is the sense he is talking about. it mentions wars with other countries, wars that Japan is now recovering from...and even though in Second Gig when we see other nations interfering in the refugee crisis, its STILL not an “international story”.

What a dumb straw man! I said that “You’re obviously aware that breasts are sexualized in ways that male chests are not.” Mentioning a campaign that argues that “breasts intrinsically are not sexual and are only sexualized by others” doesn’t contradict that. Again, read people’s comments before replying to them!

First, what a ridiculous question. You’re obviously aware that breasts are sexualized in ways that male chests are not. Whether or not you like it, women are allowed to and are going to talk specifically about ways that women are victimized.

People that bought into the whole no car lifestyle and depend on a single point of failure for their mobility.
