>Bruce travels to an ancient land to learn martial arts >Bruce Wayne is rich >Is trained by Ras Al Ghul who appears to be asian >Asian Ras is a decoy and the real one is a white male >No outrage from critics

I have nothing against Liam Neeson he did a great job as Ras but the stupidity of the critics baffles me.
Lucas Morris
>2005 vs 2017
Easton Taylor
he has middle eastern origins but he defiantly looks kinda white
Connor Jones
Literally this
Jose Morris
I remember there was definitely outrage over a white Ra's back in the day, but because twitter, tumblr, and progressive clickbait sites weren't a thing yet to make those complaints seem louder than they actually were, nobody really cared.
Jackson Collins
>Asian Ras is a decoy and the real one is a white male And this was a joke in Doctor Strange.
Tyler Cox
Two things happened. First, there was already a simmering anger at Marvel for their lack of Asian representation among the types that care about that.
Then Iron Fist was announced and took forEVER to announce casting choices, letting those folks put way more energy into fan-casting.
The catch here, though, is that IF is a character no one knows anything about or cares about, and they lack the self awareness to realize the discrepancy in their behavior.
Example: Daredevil is a white dude who learns how to be a ninja from a white dude and a Greek chick, who fight stereotypical Japanese evil ninjas. But no one caused a stir, because everyone accepts that Daredevil is "supposed" to be white.

Cameron James
He is
Joseph James
>IF is a character no one knows anything about or cares about hey fuck you
Leo Howard
Normies don't care about street level heroes who aren't spiders you stupid fuck
James Morales
The only outrage over Ra's should've been the fact that they didn't re-dub him with David Warner
Oliver Butler
I mean of the SJW crowd pham, I care myself, which is why I think it's retarded to bitch about him being white
Joshua Ortiz
Something not even mentioned here is that Danny didn't travel to K'un-Lun to learn martial arts, he was just kind of going along with it because his father dragged them along, then his father and mother are killed (latter partially because of Yu-Ti) and he's essentially adopted by K'un-Lun. He didn't seek them out, he simply stayed and embodied their culture because it was what he learned after he was orphaned.
idk critics are retarded.
Justin Brooks
isn't it actually more racist to assume that Danny Rand should be asian just because he knows Martial Arts?
Samuel Nelson
The tumblr PC police are racist as fuck and always have been. They simply lack the self awareness to notice.
Anthony Baker
I hate how because of BB everyone pronounces it Roz al ghul instead of Rayysh
triggers my autism desu
Christopher Parker
It´s funny how Batman Beyond corrected that years before BB was made.
Brandon Butler
The fact that this really is the reason for all of this is astounding.
John Bennett
I told a friend of mine this show was being made, and he asked 'oh cool, what powers does the guy have?' >he has fists, that are like iron
Nathaniel Barnes
>Arrow uses both pronunciations, sometimes in the same scene.
Jose Allen
Obama happened and fueled racebaiting
Josiah Carter
...
Levi Young
Both a fine.
Just like spics pronounce Arthur as ART-ur
Dominic Wood
This really thew me the fuck off, honestly, sorta neat that they did it though for anyone who says it either way over another.
Connor Kelly
>but the stupidity of the critics baffles me. See No sane person has a problem with either of these things. I'm a DCfag but have no problem with the ACCURATE portrayal of Rand (Ras is pretty much always portrayed as white) and will still watch the show and most likely the action and all that shit.
Cameron King
Its retarded now and its retarded then
but we're talking about Tumblr and the progressive crowd.
Elijah Wood
>marvel pandering to casuals and sjws
You reap what you sow. When will people realize that SJWs are backstabbing delusional people that get mad stuff they hear about on tumblr?
Lucas Turner
Wait a fucking minute
those crying "racism" never said a god damn thing about Batman? If they're saying Danny Rand should be an Asian because he does kung fu, why won't they put the same standard on Batman? Why doesn't Batman get accused of being racist?
I'm going to have to look into this further
Nathan Gutierrez
Whites reside in the middle east and were even more common back in the day (when Ra's would be around) before mongols and muslims went around raping everything.
Brayden Gonzalez
Batman and his films predate modern social justice consciousness. He's not a new character, so there's less scrupulation about his lore and the things he does.
Isaac White
What really bugged me was how Malcolm Merlyn was saying Ross al Ghul the whole time until he became him and then suddenly decided to pronounce it Rachel Ghul.
Xavier Peterson
maybe they're not the same person and casting a net over all of them as "the critics" and assuming they are all colluding and acting as one is a dangerous mindset that will open you up for a continually paranoid and overly cynical attitude in the future?

Ra's's parents were from China
Angel Campbell
>Ra's's parents were from China
And china had caucasians too. Asia is fucking big.
The white phenotype is extended in all Caucasian groups, Sensei is fucking chinky tho
Hunter Wright

Henry Rivera
Sup Forums here, this guy is from china too
Colton Campbell
It's more because of the existence of clickbait culture now rather than actual people being mad. Plus, it was expected by comic fans and movie followers (Get Liam Neeson, A-list actor and action movie star, to play just a one-off lackey? Please)
I'm Asian. We're only 5% of the US population. I can guarantee you 90% of the people shouting "RACISM" aren't actually Asian. We hate both the Asian Kungfu-man trope and the white man becomes karate master trope equally. Anyone actually complaining about Danny Rand being White hasn't done their research nor do they care to.
Can't speak for the ratings though. Show might just be actual dogshit.
Chase Flores
is that Liam Neeson?
Jace Mitchell
Yes This girls are from china too
Nicholas Moore
I'm done, just wanted to remind Sup Forums that Middle east, paki, afghan, persian or eurasian or chinese doesnt mean you can't be white.
SJW are retards. Argies and chileans are spics and they can't get spic scholarships anymore since they are not poor enough in murrika to be considered latinos. This is the result of SJW stupidity
Sebastian Cooper
He's not batman. Batman gets a pass because batman. Normies love batman so much that of you had batman heat up a transsexual villain and say that said person is sick, hormones will defend batman. Even Trans people will defend him. Why? Cause batman
