I hope that you're being sarcastic. Who cares what you find offensive as a part Japanese person. I'm part Japanese as well and I don't think any of it's offensive. We're not monolithic. "As a _____ person" doesn't mean shit especially in this situation. Japanese like any other culture copy other countries' films or books then cast all people from their own country. It's normal and okay for any country to do.

I believe that you shouldn't play the part of a culture,race, or group you don't belong to. Someone playing the role of someone from my culture and she isn't part of it offends me.

That's utterly idiotic and wrong because that's segregation. If I want to make a movie in China based on a book from Russia, does that mean that I have to use a Russian cast? If a culture is great or liked, it should be shared.
