In Reply to: By that logic Hollywood should give all the Ozzies and Brits the boot for "acting" American.................... posted by photoguy on December 10, 2005 at 11:05:17:
"American" is not an ethnic designation--by definition, ANYONE can be American as it denotes a nationality. One can typically only be Japanese if one is born Japanese, or Chinese if one is born Chinese (very few people naturalize, I believe, into these countries, as opposed to America).I go back to my original point: many people might get upset if Tom Cruise (or Mel Gibson) played Martin Luther King in a movie.....
