Non-fiction vs fictional characters are not comparable. Of course if it's based on history it should be a actor who can look most like the character and can actually act. But when it comes to fictional characters it doesn't mean that much other than the original fanbase will obviously not like change.

Specifically anime almost none of the characters ever look Asian and I've seen Asian anime movies and almost every time the actors just don't look anything like the actual characters from the anime other than hair and costumes. So if that's fine I don't see a problem with choosing random people for the acting positions in a American adaptation.

The only issue I find with American adaptations is that Hollywood idiots try to change the story into their own vision that is usually generic trash like the DragonBall movie. Of course they chose a white dude to play Goku and he was bad but not because of his race. Almost every other character in that movie was Asian and they looked nothing like the actual characters and were horrible actors just like everyone in that horrific film that I wish I could erase from my memory.

Also what do you mean Asians are too chicken to stand up? Stand up to who exactly? I don't like how you are grouping people by race when everyone is different regardless of race. I'm white but that doesn't mean I have anything to do with liberal Hollywood apparently in your mind suppressing their fellow liberals when Hollywood is supposedly the most accepting of different people...

Your statement already became irrelevant and false before the end of the 2nd line. Making vast sweeping statements.

what do they need to stand up to? The own and created the original of a lot of these anime adaptations and have had them for ages. If anything it's everyone else grabbing what scraps they can. I'm pretty sure Asians don't give a shit.
