re: 'Whitewashing Heroes In Hollywood Movies"

I mean I don't disagree fully, it is imbalanced and can seem odd like this film, however, all of the other minorities and smaller populations will go see a Matt Damon film way before most other stars.

If people don't go see Matt Damon films, we'll stop getting Matt Damon in films. If they want different leads, then don't go see any film with a lead you don't like and encourage the people around you to do the same. Then support the leads you do like and want. Hollywood is going to follow the money, not the feelings.

But be honest, Freaux, how often do American film studios give Asian actors even a chance at a leading role? Why not throw the dice at least once and have someone like Steven Yeun the chance to star in a film? I mean, shite, there are movies made every fricking year with gay main characters; why not try it with Asians, especially considering they're the actual majority of the world.
