Colorblind is a myth. No one can be color blind, unless you are total blind than it is OK, but I saw Dave Chapelle Black white supremacist skit, so even if you are blind you can ignore race.

They should cast everyone white, I would be fine with that. They cast an White guy and Asian guy as love interest. They cast the Old Asian Kung Fu master.

Good thing I never watch Hollywood because I would want to shoot at the sceen.

Once again we need some white guy to save us asians from our own catastrophes and to seduce our women.

Need I point out that when Goku goes Super Saiyan that he goes through some interesting changes:

1. His eyes turn from black to blue
2. His hair turns from black to blond

Interpret that as you will.

I’m reminded of a when John Wayne played Genghis Khan in “Conqueror”.

As well as a line from so many cartoons from my youth:
“Mammy, Mammy, can’t you see it’s me, Mammy?”

Being colorblind is fighting ignorance with ignorance. We can’t ask a black man to play Bruce Lee. You can’t ask an Asian man to play JFK. Just be reasonable.

I agree its questionable to cast Goku with someone categorized as “white” when his features in the cartoon are clearly more Asian than Caucasian, BUT Goku is from another planet.

Whatever.

In related news, my friend ‘Millie’ is auditioning for the live-action version of Avatar: the last Windbender (or whatever it is) supposedly being directed by James Cameron.

She’s white. and 14.
