@cell @lain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_with_Candy_(film) I thought "wow this weird, and very uncomfortable movie actually has interesting representation" because the movie features a main character that is Indonesian and some Indonesian culture. But then I looked closer and the guy playing the Indonesian character is Ecuadorian LOL. They literally won't even put an Indonesian actor in an Indonesian role.

Don't get me started on Ghost in the Shell, where they replaced a Japanese main character with a white woman and then ALMOST NEVER even said her name, because "Motoko" is too confusing for Americans. Japanese characters are almost always played by non-Japanese actors.
