I like how it buries the fact that the character is Chinese anyway that the bottom.

Also, what, does this mean a French actor can't play a Dane or a Honduran can't play a Guatemalan or a Nigerian can't play a Liberian?

Those people from twitter the article quoted sound like the worst human beings who ever lived.

That said, are there more than those two people in the whole world who are upset by this or is this just fanning the flames of an imaginary fire?

Be it Murican, Japanese, or Vietnamese, white people are white so I don't see why they shouldn't get to play white roles

Most of the people complaining likely wouldn't even be able to name a Vietnamese actor, let alone a good one without googling.

I'm pretty sure this is the reason they are complaining.

Tom Cruise as the last samurai.

whilethe plot and characters were heavily simplified in true Hollywood fashion,
he's based on a real historical figure, though. Jules Brunet.
