those are sensitivities for which I have no regard. Film making is pretend. what next? Aussies can't play English? Steve Martin has to give up his role in the Pink Panther? Japanese and chinese are both Asian. yes I know there are certain physical traits that predominate both but in fact there are Chinese people who look Japanese and visa versa just as there are Irish with dark hair and skin and Italians with red hair and freckles. I think it's all a load of crap. Race is superficial and culture is something that is not Owned by any group. Let the artists play what they want to play. It's art not real life.
