This is such a weird comment to me, since most of the whitewashing controversies I can think of have involved Asian or Native American characters: The Last Airbender, Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily, the Ab Fab movie, Scarlett Johnasson in Ghost in the Shell, Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan Noonien Singh, and Johnny Depp as Tonto.

Khan Noonien Singh

oh you mean the guy that was supposed to be Indian but was played by a fucking Mexican dude but now we're supposed to be pissed off?

It's been close to fifty years since Montalban first played Khan and thirty years since he reprised the role in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Amazingly enough, there are going to be people--many of whom weren't even born yet when Montalban was playing Khan--who think that we can and should do better at casting South Asian actors to play Indian characters now, regardless of how actors were cast in the 1960s.
