the video left out a lot of other recent examples like Bullet Proof Monk, 21, and The Forbidden Kingdom.

@rmDiablo79 (3) And if the Sun Warriors are indeed fully based off of Mayans, then that doesn't detract from my point. They're not White nor Black as well. So why are White and Black actors injected into this world?

I think the best thing about the photo montage at the end, is that there were a couple of points where I thought "Yeah, but that wasn't serious..." (e.g. Peter Sellers as Sidney Wang in Murder by Death was clearly part of the parody, since Charlie Chan was most famously played by Peter Lorre), but then you showed it being played straight right after (Peter Ustinov playing Charlie Chan years later), and, well, *facepalm*

A compelling conclusion to a really great documentary.

@prodigychild1988 no i didnt, i was just pointing out that it s not possible to compare japan to america. god bless

[prodigychild1988]

@smukase I hope you don't misunderstand... The whole reason I was watching this documentary is because I care about this issue, too, as an Asian-American. 

[prodigychild1988]

@smukase I don't mean to distance the US from it's race issues at all, don't misunderstand. I grew up in the US, a black/asian child, and I certainly experienced the racism here first hand. I was merely stating that racism/colorism/nationalism/wh­atever -ism it may be, is not purely a US issue, and moving to Japan would not be moving to Utopia. The comment I responded to was saying something about moving to Japan. Taking nothing away from this issue, the world as a whole is screwed up about race.

@prodigychild1988 every country has its own race issues! dont put this in the wrong context ok, but u cant compare any country in this world with america. america sells the lies of change, tolerance, peace, dreams etc. and all in the name of multiculturalism. yet it s white europeans who run it and they do so by making sure all other ethnicities always stay behind them. all this in a country that belongs to someone else in the first place. sorry but that is smth a whole lot different

[smukase]

it s true, by ignoring a problem u r just allowing it to take place unnoticed and on a far larger scale than it even was. if u keep brushing the dust under the carpet, it ll keep accumulating until the day it all blows back in your face and makes your whole house inhabitable

loved the photo montage at the end this has to stop i will also be boycotting AKIRA

[PUFFYsaidgo]

I wonder if reverse racism does exist. I have read people post online ridiculous things like, "Why isn't there a channel dedicated to white people" or "Why isn't there a white history month?" Um... before, all television channels were white, and many still are, and before the history months were made, twelves months out of a year *were* white history months!
