I feel like this is a different argument than the "yellowface" one the OP alluded to. Is it wrong because making people up as other races is wrong, or is it wrong because it took opportunities away from actors of other races?

I mostly think the yellowface was wrong because it looked bad as hell. You can't just put stuff on a white guy's eyes and expect him to pass for asian...

In this case, I think they go hand-in-hand. Also, I'm not sure of the history of yellowface, like I am with blackface, so I just focused on the aspect I could comment on. OP did mention racebending on its own.

Both, to me. Asian-American actors are marginalized enough as they are, and I feel like they wasted an opportunity by not casting them in this movie.

Much as I wanted to love it (the book is one of my favorites), I came away feeling alienated.
