Should have remained a book, where this kind of erasure can only happen in people's minds.

So reincarnation can be cultural/racial erasure as well?

I suspect they meant readers might imagine the characters as always looking white (or whatever) instead of mentally updating their appearances throughout.

This is what I meant. I probably should have stated that more carefully.

Why the fuck would I imagine people in Korea being white? I imagine them being Korean.

Exactly. o.O

Sometimes I overlook character descriptions if they are brief (e.g. imagining a blond character with dark hair), but the book makes it pretty obvious that not all the characters are white? I never got the impression they all were, anyway.

Same here. I image the characters as they are described.

What kind of people would image an entire books cast as white, o_O

People who are themselves more racist than the people they bitch about, and cover it up with a lot of noise making? I dunno. :P

You missed the hunger games movie controversy over Rue, didn't you?

Apparently the same people who did the casting in 'Warm Bodies.'
