Problem #2: It's not a race war, it's just a look:
It's not being prejudice to be against changing the race of a character no matter how well known to the masses. Fans of that character get use to the look of a character. Snake eyes wearing a pink ninja costume would throw us off. A black guy playing a white guy does the same and vice versa.
Lets do a movie about Queen Elizabeth and cast Denzel Washington to play her. Lets do a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. and cast a white actor to play him....it's not sexist to say that the queen should be played by a female actor & it's not racist to say MLK was black and should not be played by a white guy, So cut the racist accusations here, we're all above that, becasue it is 2009.
You didn't mentioned how pissed you are that Duke, Snake Eyes, or Lt.Stone wasn't blonde! I'm still "thrown off" by that! A black Ripcord?! That's just as bad as Snake Eyes having a pink costume, right brother?
I'm not really trying to fuel the fire, just open some eyes. Helping others "realize" they're own perspective.
Denzel playing Queen Elizabeth? I'd go see it. It'd probably be pretty good. That Denzel is the best around. I think he could do it.
