@marjoriemliu @shellheads A Asian American would have enforced the stereotype that all Asians are Kung fu fighters
Iron Fist is an orientalist-white-man-yellow-fever narrative. Asian actor would have helped subvert that offensive trope, and reclaim space.

@stuckonbucky@marjoriemliu@shellheads EXACTLY. This outrage is idiotic.
-
-
@marjoriemliu@dance9cole Why not create the character you WANT then? -
@marjoriemliu A martial artist who is white is offensive to you? -
-
@marjoriemliu Wouldn't having an Asian guy playing a martial artist when he IS supposed to be white MORE stereotypical? Makes no sense. -
@Synergycomic@marjoriemliu you're glossing over the mystical city of kun lun central to his story. isn't just that he "does martial arts" -
@8spiders@marjoriemliu yeah he gets trained by ASIAN people...If they cast a bunch of white guys to train him I could see the outrage haha. -
@Synergycomic@marjoriemliu that's an understatement. either you don't really know the history/background or you're being obtuse -
@8spiders@marjoriemliu I only have so many characters.
-
-
@marjoriemliu Are you going to do as you promised that you will never watch "Iron Fist" if they cast a white guy? Or was that for attention? -
@marjoriemliu Except pretty much all of Iron Fist's struggles are a result of his being a white fish out of water. Asian IF wouldn't be IF. -
@marjoriemliu But wouldn't casting an Asian actor reinforce the equally offensive "all Asians know kung fu" stereotype? -
@marjoriemliu so only Asians can play a martial artist, got it. Asian stereotypes must remain everybody -
-
@marjoriemliu@tkareempowell So what does that make#TheLastDragon? -
@TheRealGSPhifer@marjoriemliu Besides a bad 80's movie? Thankfully not the savior/biggest badass of a mystical Asian martial arts city. -
@TheRealGSPhifer@marjoriemliu Damn you. Now I've got "Who's the master, Leroy?" stuck in my head.

@marjoriemliu@FirstTimeTrek Wow, Well Said. No Slow Clap for you. You get a respectful admiration applause.
