[Picture is a poster of the movie "47 Ronin". It features the actor Keanu Reeves, posing as a warrior with a Japanese sword in a fighting stance. He has pale skin and medium-length hair, a mustache and a slight beard. His clothes are long-sleeved and slightly flowing, a light green color.]

I wish that people would be able to critcise the whitewashing in this movie and Hollywood WITHOUT erasing Keanu's racial identity, saying things like "it doesn't matter that he's not white because he looks white".

Apart from it being a subjective judgement (I know people who've said he looks 'obviously' mixed), incorrect (I'm gay but apparently 'look' straight, and that doesn't make me immune to homophobia), it invalidates and erases his own experiences with racism even in Hollywood (getting turned down for auditions because he was too 'exotic', telling him they wanted someone more 'conventional', people making fun of his 'squinty' eyes, etc.)

I'm Chinese and there are things that upset me about this movie, race-wise, but erasing Keanu's identity (or that of the half-white character he's playing, and who existed prior to Keanu's involvement) is not the way to go about it.
