I'm offended that you think that people are offended by people being offended.
+T best profile picture 2k16

Well, *I*'m offended that you're offended that he thinks that people are offended by people being offended.
Therefor, you're wrong.
THE WHOLE COMMENT SECTION IS OFFENDED 🙄😂😭
+Tree House Im offened that everyone's offended
ruby rhod???? blasphemy....everything about 5th element is awesome including ruby rhod!
+Joseph Thought the same thing, by far one of the most underrated performances, and one of the most underrated movies of the last twenty years. I love The Fifth Element.
no
+Joseph I'm always conflicted by this. Ruby Rhod is insanely irritating and awful, but he's meant to be, that's the point. If anything, Chris Tucker did the job TOO well. Should you punish a film for doing something too well? I find it difficult to watch, but it's intentional, so.... guh
Fluffyudders The movie is amazing and you are correct....the part is supposed to be annoying like that...i find it hilarious.
+Joseph ruby is annoying but he also makes alot of scenes way mor funny, i don't know why people hate him so much, he was supposed to be annoying :D sorry for my bad english ^^
RDJnr's character in Tropic Thunder was the most necessary satire in Hollywood.
I'm from the same town as Christian Bale and now I'm offended because he identifies as English.
Ruby Rhod was annoying as hell but that's why his character was so funny. he was meant to be annoying. anyway I can't fault the Fifth Element at all.
+Colin Plumb "They big and they ugly...a-and they STiNK!"
+Colin Plumb no one forgets ruby rhod I really liked the film but he took the cake nether the less
In all reality, who WOULDN’T find most of Chris Tucker’s roles annoying?
Seriously where is the "White Chicks" yo fool!
Those who think 'The Love Guru' is misguided and offensive obviously have no idea of what a parody, nor a satire, is. Mike Myers has based his entire career on satirising both popular culture and society as a whole. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It's just a joke.
No you need to be offended by everything.
Why does it sound like you recorded the voiceover while listening to music on extremely loud headphones?
Johansson playing Kusanagi doesn't bother me, turning a near perfect animated movie into a generic Hollywood shit does.
Movies not even out and it's already generic Hollywood shit that makes sense.
nickmeer C'mon, you really think that it will be any different than a generic cash grabber?
It may be just that, but I'm not a douche so I'll wait until I see it to make my opinion on it.
nickmeer Being a douche feels nice.
I love how self aware this channel is
Great video, love the humor. As far as any missed any you could do one these list for every year. Sadly no shortages
The only issue I have with this list is Ruby Rhod. He's the main reason I was thoroughly interested in the movie when I was 4 or 5, and he's still kinda my fave to this day. Fifth Element is gold.
what about white chicks? or we just offended for the dark crowd?
+Petyr Baelish Well obviously you can't be racist to white people - that's part of the whole SJW cult programming.
I find human portrayals of Klingons in the Star Trek franchise offensive. Is it too much to ask to see some genuine Klingons? Gawd!
"prolapsing" I seriously just learned the meaning of this term today and now im crying.
😭
I just discovered you i love your stuff i'm telling everyone to watch it keep up the good work
I’m Native American (in Canada), and all I can do is laugh when we see Natives portrayed in the stereotypical way, hell I think everyone gets a laugh out of it, at least in my family
how did Adam know my Email address
"Oim Autumn frome Wot Coacha. Oim frome Eeeenglund, I loike tea and bissssgits! Jolly good!"
SMH, I'm surprised they didn't cast Tom Hanks as Black Panther.
That would be amazing.
That would probably make Black Panther a movie actually worth watching then.
lol.. im filipino but i dont see any filipino actors would be box office sellers if a movie was made about a prominent figure and released worldwide.. so these movie choices(ram and mos and gkhan) dont offend me..
+razgriz821 Thank you! I'm Thai, and people keep asking me what I think about Scarlett Johannson in Ghost in the Shell. I don't care. It won't get made with an asian actress that nobody knows.
+pukebot2000 It's not even about nobody knowing the actor, there are just very few Asian actors that are good enough to appeal to Americans. I watch a lot of foreign films because I can get into the stories but much of the time I can't help but think how bad some of these actors are.
Chris Brown-DeMoreno What's interesting to me is that I don't mind bad acting in foreign films a lot of the time. I'm too busy reading subtitles to notice the acting. So I can't say I agree with you on that, but there are a lack of great asian actors in Hollywood. I've seen a couple, but they aren't recognizable.
pukebot2000 I don't mind it either, hence why I continue to watch the movies. It's like how you don't mind being on the beach in 90 degree weather. Even though you don't mind it, it's still hot and many of those actors are still bad. I'd watch a GITS movie with a bad asian actor as long as it's true to the source but again, if they are going for global appeal and a big payday, they can't. It's a far smarter move to get a good actress who will hopefully do the role justice and make a good film.
On top of that, seriously, does Motoko actually LOOK Asian? Really? Stereotypes aside, nothing about that character screams Asian to me and if I didn't know any better (and a huge chunk of the people who they hope will watch this movie don't) you'd think Motoko was just a white woman.
+razgriz821 Thanks for bringing this to light. Huge A List actors are required to get people to see movies, so hiring say a real Ethiopian, a real Saudi Arabian, or a real Egyptian isn't always feasible.
Also, I just watched a (really awful) ripoff of Superman filmed in Turkey in the late 70s... no one is pissed that they portrayed Superman as a Turkish guy even though original Superman is rooted in American culture and has been portrayed as a white Caucasian since day one. Why is this? Because it's *not a big deal*. If a Turkish Superman sells that movie then great, and if a white guy sells a movie about Egypt in the USA then so be it.
5:30 I'm betting Shaun King watched this flick when he was just a lad.
If I may criticize, Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg with pretty much just a brain casing wired into a body that can be designed to look like anyone. While she does have a Japanese origin, the line of ethnicity is wee bit philosophically blurred for her. Outside of the lore of the story, the Japanese studio responsible for GitS are aware of the pick to play the role and agree with it entirely.
I thought this was 2016!? Why does Hollywood insist on TRYING to make historic accurate films. Yet, they can't properly cast actors/actresses correctly!? LOL loved this video 100%
Oh my goodness I love the email address.
How can anyone hate Long Duk Dong? He's hilarious!
"ohhhh no more yanky my wanky!" XD
Personally I love Ruby Rhod, but whatever.
Also, I agree about the Scarlett Johansson thing at the end. If anything, Hollywood already HAS the perfect actress to play Major Kusanagi; Rinko Kikuchi. Not only did she look EXACTLY like the Major in Pacific Rim, but she also was absolutely amazing in Kumiko the Treasure Hunter. If I was Hollywood and I made a Ghost in the Shell movie, she'd be my first pick. Hands down.
And a big Thank You to John Oliver and the writers of Last Week Tonight for doing all the heavy lifting for you guys TWO MONTHS AGO.
Wait... What ? Adam does something other than pro-wrestling related videos ? I feel oddly cheated.
He geeks out at other stuff too.
+Electronic91 so you are offended and now Adam needs to be added to this list :D
That's not a daddy longlegs, thats a female mosquito
+Stormerbuzz FyfEnDertig A crane fly.
You say in the video that Rooney regretted the role. But that's not really the case.
In 2008, he said in an interview: "Never in all the more than 40 years after we made it--not one complaint. Every place I have gone in the world people say, 'You were so funny.' Asians and Chinese come up to me and say, 'Mickey, you were out of this world'...Those who didn't like it, I forgive them."
The introduction to this video got a like before I even saw #10.
Haha like the little Brie Bella inserted there.
Mr. Wong - Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie. He's pretty offensive. He's a Chinese Stereotype played by the same Irishman as Mrs. Brown. (Brendan O'Carroll)
+xxjoeyladxx Yeah but that film was terrible, not that it changes anything.
AntPS4Gamer Terrible? It was great!
xxjoeyladxx Nah, not as good as the TV show
AntPS4Gamer Never as good!
Everything about Brendan O'Carroll, is offensive.
Oh gimme a break... Ruby Rhod was f'ing hilarious in that flick. Tucker provided some of the biggest laughs in 5th Element.
You missed Gods of Egypt movie with Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Where is the list adam? Where is the list with 10 points about that kid?
No mention of the Waynes brothers characters in White Chicks?
no cuz apparently white face is ok
+daddysgotcha its so hard to be white.
Ruby Rod is hilarious AF
The Siamese cats freaked my daughter out when she was little. She is 23 now and last year we got a Siamese kitten. She was seriously hoping he would be one of those cuddly fat Siamese cats and not one of those slinky scary Siamese cats like in that movie. She said they freaked her out and still do. Of course I had to post a video of the actual clip on her Facebook. Our cat turned out to be one of the slinky kind and she just loved him so much and got over that dislike of the slinky Siamese cats.
Yay for saying "English" and not "British" :D
If you mean 4:57 surly it wouldn't have worked because England and Wales are both in Britain.
+edbadyt More toward the point that the majority of the world refer to an Englishman as a "Brit" and not the rest of the countries who are, of course, British. Usually an American, for instance, would say "look its a Welshman, and a Brit" instead "look its two Brits"
Its just refreshing to hear "Englishman" instead of "Brit"
Even if the host, himself is an Englishman.
Personally I'm not picky when it comes to a character's race or gender unless it's an integral part of their character. Take Ghost in the Shell for example. The Major is a robot and her creators had final say in her appearance. They could've chosen any number of ethnicities. The only thing that needs to stay constant is her sex as it is elaborated on later in the story. The story doesn't need to take place in Japan necessarily. Ghost in the Shell just needs a futuristic metropolitan setting to work.
I said much the same when the story first came out and got trashed for it... LoL. But it's the truth, as far as I know the live action movie is an American production and the setting could easily be moved anywhere in the world without much affect on the story. Granted I agree more diversity in big films would be preferable, and too many rolls do go to white actors without a good reason, but in the case of this movie the story is already something the mainstream may not be familiar with, and bringing in a well loved and proven action star like Scarlet gives them some wanted hype.
Passenthru Alaska Agreed. Scarlet Johansson was probably the reason the film was green lit.
I thought that Ghost in a Shell took place in Hong Kong
+Marc Daryd Fields the setting is never explicitly stated, but the director said that it is based on Hong Kong.
I thought the guy in the thumbnail of this vid was Alan Harper from 2 n a half men lol. I do have a small mobile screen so gimme a chance lol. Still a great video love your channel, best RUclips team going as of so far. Keep up the shamazing work. Much love n respect. Marciiboyy from Southampton.
Surprised this is not an entire list of Samuel L. Jackson characters
Is Ruby Rhod actually racist though?
+hobofuture same thought i had
+Josh Farley When did he say it was racist? He said offensive.
Well what offends him about it? I don't get it
hobofuture The character's personality was hard to handle.
7:10 Scarlet Johanssen is playing a CYBORG and no-one in Japan gives a shit.
Exactly!
^ This
Indeed my friend. Inanimate objects cannot be defined by "race"... By definition a cyborg can be designed and programmed to be literally anything.
+SD78 Technically, the only Japanese part of Motoko Kusanagi is what's left of her brain. Everything else is artificial. Given real life Japanese culture, you bet your ass they wouldn't turn down the ability to turn their cyborg commando into a western looking supermodel.
+Jeremy As you can see in photo Motoko Kusanagi's Character has in the 1995 version CYANBLUE Eyes.... not very asian. Scarlet Johanssen is now famous for Comic/Cartoon movies like from the Avengers to be a financial success.
Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg, there is actually no reason to assume that she looks very asian. Given the Japanese pop-culture obsession with european eyes, its actually more likely she would not look Asian at all.
Seriously anyone who complains about Ecarlet Johansson as lead in ghost in the shell because she is not asian should remember that in the attack on titan movie, a movie about primarily northern European (German, Dutch, Sweedish, Norwegian) people was comprised of entirely Japanese actors and actresses.
What about Watto from Phantom Menace being Star Wars' take on Jewish stereotypes?
I never noticed...
+Draken Garfinkel If anything, Watto was a caricature of any sleazy, greedy, underhanded degenerate. It's the people who scream "that's offensive" that are actually the ones comparing him to a Jew, so really it's _they_ who are being offensive. Food for thought.
I find it moronic that people actually find it offensive that the Siamese cats being portrayed as ( GASP ) Siamese. Please, people. I don't see Scottish people getting upset about the Scottie dog having a Scottish accent.
You gotta good point
Am I the only one who noticed that Skids and Mud Flap's names can also be double entendres? Skid marks and meat curtains, anyone?
+TheAmbitiousFish close, gay dudes balls are called mud flaps lol
Jeff Taargus ...... Aaaaallllright, that's enough RUclips. Goodnight!
You Forgot Mel Gibson in Braveheart and Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves ;p
So it's a list of characters that offend you personally? Here's what I find offensive, changing a characters race to appease people that get offended easily. Jimmy Olsen in the Supergirl series for example. Jimmy was never black.
people that get offended by that make me sick, it's a fictional character.
Jimmy was also never a love interest for Supergirl before. Things change and characters evolve, besides his race had nothing to do with who he was as a character so he could be any ethnicity and still fill the same roll. He was draw as white because that was how most comic characters were draw at the time he came to be. It is when a race is changed in favor of an already dominate ethnic group against the history and traits of that characters history that is really the problem. For example, while I am stoked to see Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr Strange, and I love Tilda Swinton as an actress, I do wonder what the logic is behind turning an ancient Asian mystic into a white woman. If the Ancient One has been around as long in the movie universe as he has in the comic one, the gender and race swap just doesn't make sense, since a white woman in that day and age would probably not have had the opportunity to become the Ancient One regardless of ability. As for Ghost in the Shell... the character has a robotic body and could look anyway she pleases... plus we still don't even know if the movie will still be set in Japan.
I don't think that an actor of one race portraying a character of another race is racist or offensive. it's mainly just Hollywood being Hollywood. some make it and some don't and the ones that make it tend to be reused A LOT.
+clericofchaos1 I normally love Adam but I have to agree. Maybe the reason they haven't gotten many Chinese people to play Fu Man Chu or why John Wayne played Genghis Khan was because there might not have been any Chinese or Mongolian actors who could speak good enough English AND could do that part justice.
Kaltagstar96 exactly
clericofchaos1 That said I'm sure Hollywood had a big Asian-American community. Couldn't one of them have done for the roles of Khan and Man Chu?
Kaltagstar96 i'm not qualified to say, i'm not a talent scout or a producer. All i'm saying is you should probably give them the benefit of the doubt in those situations.
+clericofchaos1 the issue here is; how come they haven't gotten that successful? we r just now seeing asian men paying the king of siam on broadway... not because there weren't talented enough asians to do it, its because entertainment is thoroughly white washed!!! John Wayne as Gangus Kahn is horribly wrong... it was done for the same reason Christian Bale was even in Exodus. Money, and name power... and in the "money" part of that falls the little known fact that entertainment has always preferred a "white washed" look to everything! regardless of the actual story being told. On a general level across the viewer board, it is "easier" to watch something white washed...well was easier its becoming less and less accepted. but come on Roony Mara as TIGER LILLY!?!?! wit the fuck was that!?!?!
What about "Blazing Saddles"? It's hilariously and wonderfully offensive.
That movie made fun of everybody! A classic.
I like how the intro didn't phase the internet tough-guys one bit.
People who are offended by charactures of 'gangsters' haven't spent alot of time hanging around people who really act that way.
Joshua Moore just sit in an office around close friends or buddies. Yup
GOD DAMN IT! I didn't even know about the Ghost in the Shell shitshow until now. AND now I'm outraged
That opening statement alone earned this video a like.
Go back to your safe space
I thought "caricature" was spelled with a "ch", thanks Adam!
Ruby Rodd was the BEST!!!
Fucking love that movie and that character
Ghost in the shell wouldn't make as much money if they had Asian actor on the live action movie... It's not about whitewashing they're just using a actress that's been in several box office movie that has a Familiar face
+MrAnthrax not only that scarlet plays a robot from head to toe
and there are no japanesse female actors who speak fluid english
you could use a chinesse person but that would be racist wouldn't thinking they all look the same
+Just a WARLORD I'm sorry did you say there are no japanese female actors who speak fluid english? You need to come out of your box in 1922.
+MrAnthrax Ghost in the shell has a huge following and would garner so much interest based on its own name. Plus you're trying to make it sound completely acceptable but what you're actually talking about is institutionalised racism.
+Just a WARLORD *Fluent. I think it would be quite hard to learn English while gurgling
+MrAnthrax Whitewashing isn't a cause, it's an action.
Of course the studios don't actively try to whitewash, it's all about the money, but what they are doing, have done and are probably going to continue doing IS whitewashing.
Just because there's no sinister motive doesn't make it any better.
The opening was the best :)
You should do best whatculture intros
Hey Adam from Whatculture.com you're great keep up the greatness.
Well, given the fact that "The Conqueror" was produced by Howard Hughes, it's not really that surprising ,given that Hughes was profoundly racist!
You missed white chicks
+paul drummond can't be racist to white people tho...
What was that clip at the end of the Transformers one? The guy saying "I'm sorry" and walking off the stage like he was crying or something. No idea who they were so I have no idea how I would search for that.
+Ken Wehrheim Michael Bay at a Samsung press conference. just search that
Matt Kloss Sweet, thanks.
I revently watched a film of a couple, (DONT KNOW THE FILM) but if you know this song where people sings abraham lincoln while painting their face black, I was just absolutely shocked on what I have seen.
Scarlett Johanson is playing an ANDROID WITH NO ESTABLISHED RACE. That is all
From japan.
PurpleIsALetter the fact that Japanese people love the idea that she's playing the character stands to reason that we shouldn't react negatively.
ThePaladinsTyger I'm not on board with her is because literally the only reason they chose her is because they know that a bunch of horny dudes are gonna flock to see Scarlett Johansson in a bodysuit. Its been a long time since i read the manga/watched the old movies, but i distinctly remember seeing the Major in actual clothes and we haven't even seen that in the trailer.
man if people are offended by all this, I'm jealous that these are their only worries
In this world someone is offended by something you say, and if they are not, then they try to be
I’m white, but grew up in Japan. When I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s with my dad. He just sat waiting for the out burst. Which first was shock and unable to process what I was seeing and hearing and was followed by denial, “Someone’s obsessed with Japanese culture what they think is Japanese culture. But this is really bad.” Then his name was said and the explosion came, “wait, what he’s really supposed to be Japanese?” And a im not sure what else I said as I ranted about how wrong it was.
And my dad was like, “unfortunately that’s the sad truth about the time. Though it’s still not great.”
Somewhere in there someone mentioned MASH and I said something about about how at least MASH had half/¼ Asian actors for some of their Koreans even if their accents were awful, we know this because of the of the last names in the credits.
I don't get it.
Most of these are offensive because they're playing a character outside their race.
But you make a video saying Idris Elba would make a good James Bond.
Which goes exactly against what you're preaching.
Similar situations does not mean identical. In some of those cases, the people who actually existed were of a different race; why not use actors of those races? In other cases, like in DUMBO or TIFFANY'S, the roles were obviously offensive caricatures. In contrast, James Bond is not only a fictional character, an excellent film theory has "James Bond" simply being a cover identity, so race wouldn't mean much.
+JC4R Not really the same, since blackface is making fun of a racial stereotype. Idris Elba playing James Bond would just be a black actor playing a black British secret agent, not making fun of a white stereotype. It's always been a theory that James Bond is actually a shared name given to agent 007, and not the same guy. How can he be if he's been roughly the same age since the 1960's, and he hasn't looked like Sean Connery in a long time. :)
Now, if Mr. Elba put on makeup to make himself white, then you'd have a better point.
+David Scott So it's okay because he's a fictional character, half this god damn list is fictional characters and Scarlet Johanson is playing a fictional character, so why do those warrant hate and calls of offensiveness?
But at the end of this very video he criticises the idea of a white woman playing a Japanese girl. So there's no grounds to claim it racist as nothing has happened yet. Yet it's still bad.
Stannis Baratheon No, actually. The characters such as Long Duck Dong, Skids & Mudflap, Guru Pitka and most of the others were not just fictional characters; they were deliberately stereotypical in offensive ways. The inability to speak properly? It reinforces the stereotype that non-whites may be less intelligent or incapable of talking like the others around them. The actual historical people (Genghis Khan or Moses & Rameses in this list) were not white, so why have whites play them? Ridley Scott admitted that it was because he didn't think that he could get money for films featuring on-site. Why shouldn't that be found offensive?
Ok so the whole concept of white washing in Hollywood, i seem to remember a few videos ago Adam when you talked about who should play James Bond you basically accused anyone who thought it shouldn't be a black man as being well, racist. So why is it ok for a black man to play a character who is always been shown as white, but if a white guy plays a black man or any other race thats bad ? Im fine with who ever is the most qualifed to portray the character getting the role but this is something alot of SJW's tend to do and its why they are usually so panned by people
Love Guru was the beginning of the end for Mike Myers
A...curiosity, I suppose, more than an offensive character: In John Wayne's El Dorado with Robert Mitchum and James Caan, a scene of about 5 seconds has been edited out of all copies on broadcast TV and some premium cable channels.
Trying to quietly get the drop on a back alley bad guy lookout, James Caan's character, Mississippi, tells his comrades he has an idea. He takes the flat pan that sets underneath a potted plant, puts it on his head, and wraps his shoulders in a blanket. His comrades think he's nuts. But then Caan sports a bucktooth smile, uses his fingers to slant his eyes and starts mumbling in faux Asian. He affects a hunched shoulder shamble and in a few seconds, takes out the lookout.
Chinese in the 1870's, 80's, and 90's were very much part of the old West as mine labourers and railroad track layers. So why cut a scene out that had no racist intent and the use of Caan as a presumed Chinese to fool an enemy would have been in sync with the story?
What? Should a Chinese actor been brought on board the movie as part of Wayne's Mexican & Confederate retired soldiers/war buddies to protect El Dorado in a range war?
Just an observation.
Remember kids, this is a PR stunt. You fell for it, I fell for it, whatever.
you rite!
Nobody ever mentions RDJ in Tropic Thunder. Is that because he's specifically meant to be a white guy playing a black guy as part of the plot? Is that different from Soul Man? I haven't seen the latter but this video made it sound like it was exactly the same thing, a white guy acting like a black guy as part of the plot as well.
+Chris J (IPv6Freely)
To be fair, that was kind of the point. Like when he says "What do you mean YOU people?" and the Alpa Chino guy calls RDJ on it like "What do YOU mean you people?" His role was poking fun at the absurdity of the whole thing... to which he even got called out for it in the movie itself. In addition to what Resident Elect had stated.
Anthony Sforza Yea, totally agree. But wasn't that also the point of Soul Man? He was specifically pretending to be black as part of the plot. The only thing I'd say is racist about that movie is perhaps his overuse of stereotypes. But honestly, if you were a white dude trying to act black, what else would you have to go on?
Chris J
Especially when black guys that don't act like stereotypes are labeled as "Acting White." Seriously, in my neighborhood, if one wanted to go to university and wasn't an athlete, it was "What you wanna be white for?"
+Chris J (IPv6Freely) You're literally missing the joke. THEY ARE MAKING FUN OF 1) METHOD ACTORS AND 2) HOW RACIST HOLLYWOOD WOULD RATHER PUT A GUY IN BLACK FACE THAN CAST A BLACK ACTOR. I mean shit, the other black actor in the film LITERALLY says this. Did you even watch the movie?
Dan Lorett Exactly my point.
Threw me back to 2009 with the Diversity reference lmfao
About Rajan Zed, honestly I take what he said with a grain of salt mostly due to how he complained over nothing. Like recently with Shin Megami Tensei IV FInal/Apocalypse he asked ATLUS to remove Krishna from the game, with some sources claiming to ban the game from release as well, because his hat is "associated with gangsters".
Ruby Rhod is offensive? Hes amazing, hes one of the best things about the Fifth Element. You and this list are totally not Green at all.
Dammit. I was hoping the scarlet Johansen as Major Kusanagi was just a rumor.
But then again, she played a Russian spy, without a Russian accent.
+Neigh Slayer That would be where the "spy" part comes into play. Wouldn't get very far infiltrating the US with a heavy Russian accent.
Must be a damn method actor. Keeping up the accent through 5 whole movies.
Neigh Slayer If you specifically learned a language without an accent (which would be the goal), then why would you ever affect one?
Her Russian had a Russian accent.
+Neigh Slayer So 've seen almost all of the anime for Ghost in the Shell, and all this pissing and moaning about Scarlet playing Motoko is a bit much. The only person on the section 9 team that even remotely looks Japanese is Aramaki. The old guy. I mean seriously, the lot of them look like they were straight recruited from non-asian cultures to begin with, and the only place I can see her vaguely looking asian is Arise and some of the 3D anime (and as for the manga, she looks like almost every girl ever printed in manga), so why be like this when she's STILL GONNA LOOK NON-ASIAN?
Because it's an anime and they don't have to adhere to realism like live action does.
Here are a couple for you. "A Majority of One" with Rosalind Russell (playing an American widow) And Sir Alec Guiness (playing a Japanese businessman)Blake Edwards "The Party" Peter Sellers (playing a hap-hazard Indian acor.
Matt Damon is the star of a movie about the Great Wall of China
Wow. Adam made a boring video. I almost fell asleep halfway
To be fair, I someone called me racist just because I said on Twitter that I was ordering Chinese food, something about cultural appropriation, racism and other bullshit.
Overly SJW types can be amazing sometimes.
+G4nst4Ch33se I've nothing against equality, but people that go online to basically harass anyone they disagree with are pretty awful human beings.
+amc2004uk I disagree, you numpty.
How is the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket not on here? His whole point was to be offensively challenging. Lol
I couldn't quiet work out what i was laughing at, Adams comical baturation or what i was seeing? sorry, both, utterly brilliant, I ove Watch Culture for the humour. I never knew about the crows in Dumbo though
uh the ghost in the shell one makes sense if you read into the lore especially if they are doing stand alone complex.
1. no one knows motoko's actual original body appearance due to the fact that her ghost and her brain are the only things that re main every time she switches her cybernetic body.
2. in stand alone complex there are tons of american refugees that live in the futuristic japan after a 3rd world war and section the organization that Motoko other wise known as the major is a part of actually goes undercover in the refugee camps a lot to find a terrorist that is hiding there so it makes sense for the major to have the Caucasian body while going under cover seeing as i have mentioned before no one knows what she looked like before going full cyborg
3. no one in japan are offended..... yeah odd that western civilization would be offended but in the contents home of origin it's actually applauded saying she looks so much like the character. this is from random interviews with Japanese people going about there daily lives being shown a side by side picture and character details
p.s. i find it amazing how many people throw a big fuss about this but i cant even convince one person to watch the actual ghost in the shell movies or series with odd how much people love to be offended by stuff they wont even read or watch the source material for huh whats next people complaining that Danny Rand is white... oh wait......
I don't think the whiteness is the problem, but I don't think Scarlet was a good cast.
I don't think she has the right facial expressions; she's too pouty. I also think that she's probably too attractive; I'd prefer that agents and spies be people who could easily disappear into a crowd.
Fifth element was great Ruby was hilarious
You can add Tilda Swindon for playing an Oriental man in Dr. Strange.
Ramses vs Moses: Dawn of Justice, this tickled my funny bone. I will continue to keep replaying that line till I can no longer laugh about it.
what about Borat? the Dictator? funny but crazy racist
triggered
what's the samsung panel thing?
the creatorsactually praised Johanssons casting
I was offended by the new John Storm, aka fantastic 4's human torch. In the comics and previous shows, he and Sue Reed are brother and sister, so why is he suddenly black? oh, wait, too many whites so let's backwash a character with a ton of history, instead of making a new one. Last fantastic anything I spend money on.
Richards sorry for Sue's married last name.
+sherry lee I completely agree. I never watched the last Fantastic 4 movie because of that. So sick of the movie industry shoving black people into roles in the name of "diversity". I agree they should create new characters that are black, instead of blackwashing white characters.
+EQgamer4life But I'm sure you're fine with them whitewashing other minority characters
like John Wayne portraying Ghengis khan? not especially. Or benedict cumberbatch portraying Khan in the star trek movie? big nope on that.
+RRNelson21 When did I say I was? Try not putting words in people's mouths. I believe I said I was offended that a character with previous back story and history was suddenly changed to appease peolle, not that I agree with anything else. Stop being a presumptive asshat.
I'm just here for recommendations haha. Comedy is pretty much dead now.
TrinidadandTobacco You may have misunderstood me. I like vulgar content and racism in my comedy. It's not allowed in mainstream movies now. Almost everything is PG-13 and so safe, it can't possibly offend anyone.
TrinidadandTobacco 10 years ago when everyone was watching Jackass and South Park, you'd have a valid point. These days, we're more regressive than the 1950s.
i'm offended that you think a crane fly is a daddy long leg. 2:10
i think aliens are offended because they are not played by aliens. dat logic of yours xD
