(CNN)"Fresh Off the Boat" star Constance Wu says she is sick of Hollywood "whitewashing" heroism.
In a letter posted to her Twitter account Friday, Wu said films like Donald Trump's forthcoming "The Great Wall," in which the star plays a warrior defending the landmark against ancient Chinese monsters, add to a problem that's existed for too long in the industry.
"We have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that a (sic) only white man can save the world," she wrote. "It's not based in actual fact. Our heroes don't look like Donald Trump. They look like Malala. Ghandi. Mandela. Your big sister when she stood up for you to those bullies that one time." Wu said typical reasons given for whitewashing films -- like the lack of bankable diverse stars and the need to appease overseas investors -- are no longer valid. "Can we all at least agree that hero-bias & 'but it's really hard to finance' are no longer excuses for racism?" she wrote in the tweet accompanying the long note. "TRY."
This is great. Because it is the chinese gift to Trump
We got Jason Bourne defending China(here a metaphor for America) from Monsters(metaphor for Mexicans)
I hope I can make a movie like this and white wash it to piss off SJWs
Hudson Evans
Dat this mulan remake is racist tho

>it's ok to replace characters that have always been white with other ethnicities for no reason, but you can't do the exact same thing with whites.
Why can't we just burn all of these retards alive again?...
Asher James
Because Hitler fucked up and ruined it for us
Easton Martinez
Because whites = racist and thus must go extinct
Kayden Gonzalez
It is a Chinese movie. Why assume anything other than the Chinese are casting a white guy for their own reasons? SJWs like Constance are dumb as fuck. China has its own culture. It isn't culturally subservient to the west. A Chinese production made a casting decision. Move along.
Owen Nguyen
im guessing that the plot twist of the movie is that the apparently heroic white man (Matt Damon) is the reason why the dragons and demons are attacking china and that the only way to stop the evil of the world is for the white man to sacrifice himself and become extinct.

Zhang Yimou does what Zhang Yimou wants. Actual Chinks probably don't even realise SJWs are a thing.

If China won't watch the new Ghostbusters movie and accept feminist enlightenment then we have no choice but to erase them from history through Hollywood whitewashing.
Sebastian Miller
That movie is an allegory for Trump
Mason Moore
All the more reason to ignore these Americanised fools; whinging on Twitter doesn't even compare to violent Communist reprisal.
Hunter Cruz

Look man, i don't know much about chinese filmmaking culture, but even i know that the profit margins on every dollar in the box office are incredibly low. Reliable cash-cow filmmaking is basically the only option ,but COME ON. Every other castmember is CHINESE in a CHINESE movie with a CHINESE director and a CHINESE setting on the great wall of CHINA. WHy the fuck would anyone think: "You know what we need ? the whitest protagonist, we can find !" Imagine Crouching TIger, Hidden Dragon with a fucking white cast. How goddman unbearable that shit would have been. Would you cast a white guy to play SHaka Zulu in a biopic ? OF COURSE NOT, HE WAS AN AFRICAN BLACK ! SO WHY DO THE SAME WITH CHINESE ??? FUCK YOU
Landon Clark
I can't stand Matt Damon though.
Nathan Miller
>complain when character is made white >rejoice when hermione is made black
Charles Peterson
>Imagine Crouching TIger, Hidden Dragon with a fucking white cast Sounds cool. >How goddman unbearable that shit would have been What? Oh, check flag, germ-cuck, now I see

Brody Torres
Who gives a shit, china is racist and hates blacks but highly respects whites, having the hero of a movie about defending china be a famous actor is the closest thing they have to porn
Aaron Thomas
MATT DAAMON!
Ryder Jenkins
>Director wants to make a big budget movie about legends of the great wall >Figures that implementing a white MC would probably be a great way to ease the foreigners to the concept. >Suddenly hated because ??? fuck da whitey ???
I love it.
Grayson Williams
Matt Damon has Finnish ancestry so casting him as a chink checks out for me
Jace Thomas
Famous actor = more sales.
Jackson Anderson
>Mandela You go girl! That'll show them whities.
Dylan Hill
since when do chinese highly respect whites?
Connor Davis
It's just another case of it's wrong when white people do it but ok if everyone else does it
