Peeling Off Old Paint To Tell Stories Of Palestinian Refugees by street artist Pejac
With these four small interventions I am trying to tell a minimalistic story about the Palestinian refugees in Al Hussein, Amman Jordan.
By removing small areas of the “skin” of the houses I want to transform the paint chipping, produced by the passage of time, in to evocative landscapes and transmit the pride of its inhabitants through the walls.
Al-Hussein refugee camp was originally stablished in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war. Source:boredpanda and streetartnews
I can’t even express how unbelievably sad and upset I am right now.
It’s 2016. Please please stop whitewashing POC characters.
There are so many talented Asian actresses who could’ve played Motoko. Nobody is stopping you from casting Asians for lead roles about asians!!! And what makes me even more upset is that the director originally wanted Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn from upcoming suicide squad) to play motoko and scarjo as backup. There was literally no consideration to find an Asian woman to play her.
What I am glad about is that they cast kitano as aramaki and section 9 is more diverse. But I still don’t understand how besides kitano, all the other main characters are white?
Idk it breaks my heart because I love the majors character so much and have looked up to her for so long because she’s a badass Asian female protagonist and now I feel like even that has been taken away. I know I will not go and see it in theaters.
I wish media would stop casting Asian people only as props, as nerdy unwanted sidekicks, as fetishized and sexual fantasies, as masters of the Mystics and the exotic orient and other blah blah stereotypical bull shit. I wish people could understand how important representation is.
Personally i don’t have a problem with the casting itself, because Scarlet is a great actor and would do the role well. But there is absolutely no reason they couldn’t go with somebody like Rinko Kikuchi instead.
I would be more upset if Hollywood successfully whitewashed Akira, a story that’s heavily Japanese with clearly Asian characters.
GITS is a heavily Japanese oriented story ?¿ with clearly Japanese characters?¿ taking place in Japan?¿
but isn’t this a movie made with American money by an American studio?
Do Asians not exist in America? and use American money? and also work for American studios?
What’s your fucking point?Whitewashing an Asian story and it’s characters to cater to western audiences, because let’s face it America doesn’t want to see Asians in action films anyways unless it’s some martial arts movie, is perfectly acceptable because the movie is being made by an America studio? Give me a break
Absolute shenanigans don’t nobody wanna see a goddamn GITS joint starring a white woman gtfo
They won’t be getting my money that’s for sure
