| DonFerrari said: Didn't say it is hypocrisy to demand changes in your culture while not on the others. But using your numbers for Japan, so 1,5% of population being not-japanese doesn't warrant a need of representation on their culture and entertainment, so why does LGBT with 5% is needed constantly and in about all shows? Also no you don't change your culture to become the culture of the people that migrated to your country, that is how you lose your identity and basically how domination was done before globalization. |
I've explained this numerous times, so I doubt one more time is going to help.
Japan is much more homogeneous than the US. According to the demographics I posted earlier, there are less than 1million non asian individuals living in the county. How many of those can speak fluent Japanese and how many of those are actors? Unless you can prove that there is an underserved population of actors, there is no reason to demand that those hypothetical actors get parts. If they don't exist, they won't get parts. You kind of need to tick that first box (existing) before you can tick the second (getting jobs).
And this issue that is being discussed here isn't representation of the viewer. The issue is the utilization of minority actors. Honestly, that is an entirely separate bag of worms which relies much less on individual injustices and more on what you think the role of media is.
And for that last sentence, I already explained this and at this point it is difficult not to label this racism. Non-white individuals can represent American culture the same as white individuals. It is fundamentally racist to act like if you are a minority, you cannot be truly American. That borders on some really fucked up "purity" bullshit which I will not be party to.
