> Hollywood doesn't really like asians to be their main characters
Rather than racism, I chalk it up to Hollywood's tendency to spend millions of dollars on people who they consider marketable. For example, I read reviews of "The Man from UNCLE" recently, and noticed Germans talking about the bad German accent of the lead actress, Russians talking about the bad Russian accent of the "Russian" lead. I'll throw in my own complaint of the unnatural Indian accents I have seen from "Indian" characters of Hollywood. Can't they find real Russians or Germans or Indians to play these roles?
- lj3 10y agoIt wouldn't matter. One particular episode of Leverage featured an Irish loan shark. Everybody complained that the attempted Irish accent of the actor was terrible and couldn't they get an actual Irishman to play the role? The twist: the actor is Irish and he wasn't doing an accent, that's how he normally talks.
