Don't proponents of this always say it's about merit?
So what if Skrein was the best choice for the role? Suddenly it's not about merit, it's about skin color?

Funny how this never seems to happen when actors of other races play white characters.
No if a black actor plays a white character then you're not allowed to complain otherwise you're a vile racist. Then all the excuses for the change start to come out.
Especially the good old "But the characters race isn't important to his character!"
It's fine for the black Jamie Foxx to play Electro because Electro being white isn't important but it's a crime against humanity for Ed Skrien to play an entirely unknown Major Ben Daimio because that character is Asian!

Nonwhite actors have few roles for themselves. Most of the white roles played by nonwhite actors are minor and some are not postive or progress.

Yes. Because because changing a character to a minority adds diversity. Changing a minority to a white character takes away diversity. Relax, white people. You're still the dominant race even if you don't get to play every single part in every single movie.

You're still the dominant race even if you don't get to play every single part in every single movie. Right so like I said, it's alright when it comes to white people, they're not allowed to play characters of other races but it's perfectly fine for other races to play white characters because there's a particularly high amount of white people. If they want diversity then they should make new characters of that race. Not have this double standard that benefits everyone but white people.

Yes. Very good.
Absolutely agree. Of course, then white people complain about "token" characters being created. Hmmm.
Yeah, because it's not like white people benefit from dominating over 90% of the rest of media. Such a terrible double standard.

Just to warn you, PreachCaleb is as hardcore liberal as they come. He's completely unreasonable when it comes to matters of gender and race.
