Is Hollywood starting to recognize how egregious its whitewashing casting choices are? Cameron Crowe’s return to directing, “Aloha,” was not only a box office disappointment over its opening weekend, but enfuriated tons of fans who didn’t understand why a movie set in Hawaii featured virtually NO Pacific Islanders, but the only partially Asian character in the film was cast as a fully-white woman. Via CNN:



They keep justifying this white washing by saying no one will watch movies with a black/asian/minority lead actor, yet when they whitewash them, the movies tank anyway.

And let's be real here, if you're making a movie that's set in Hawaii and called Aloha, you could at least think to have a more diverse casting. I mean the population is like 50% Asian there, but obviously that's not represented in the film. White Hollywood strikes again.

"bu bu bu bu bu it's just entertainment! If i want accuracy i watch the history channel!" - typical cac/anglo-saxon c00n

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Emma Stone looks like an albino frog on heroine.

Notice how they're suddenly "apologetic" about the situation after the movie proves to be a box office disappointment.

Emma Stone as an Eurasian woman?


Hollywood whitewashed Prince of Persia. It flopped.

Hollywood whitewashed Dragon Ball Evolution. It flopped.

Hollywood whitewashed The Last Airbender. It flopped.

Hollywood whitewashed Cloud Atlas. It flopped.

Hollywood whitewashed Exdous: Gods of Egypt . It flopped.

The 2014 tv show Hieroglyph had a whitewashed cast. It didn't even get to premiere before being cancelled.

Hollywood whitewashed Aloha. It flopped.


Get the message: white people are not guaranteed money makers.

Stop pretending that white washing ethnic characters is the only way to attract audiences to the films they are in. Not everyone needs to a prominent white character onscreen in order to feel "safe" watching something.

...WE NEGUS (in all shades) Finally AWAKEnin to their Tricknology WhiteHogWash
