Whitewashing?
你们好, and welcome back to another post! For this post, I have decided to do something different and actually recorded a bit of audio with two of my fellow bloggers. So we sat down for the afternoon to discuss whitewashed Hollywood films. I know this is a bit of a topic change, compared to what I’ve been writing before, which is more about colourism. Colourism and whitewashing are being clearly distinguished by me on my blog and are not the same issues!
Why talk about it?
I chose to talk about this subject because recently there have been so much stir around this issue after the Great Wall was released and Tilda Swinton replacing a Tibet monk in Doctor Strange plus Scarlett Johansson portraying a Japanese anime character. However, Asian characters being replaced by a white actor/actress is not a seasonal thing. Whitewashing has been happening throughout history. Why is whitewashing continuingly being proceeded?
