But I digress, at this point I'm over what race SE is being portrayed as. I just want the movie to be GOOD on its own merits. |

Or they look Hispanic. Sometimes they even look middle eastern. They mostly look like Spaniards or Italians. (Can confirm cause I’m one)

Not always: granted, half-black/white people tend to look more black but personally speaking, the majority of my relatives who are half Asian/white look...Italian(?).

As I stated previously, I wanted the comic book Snake Eyes (my second favorite comic character after Batman), but for my own sanity I have to grudgingly accept that this movie will not go that route. At this point I also am just praying for a good movie. We may not get our Gi Joe version of The Dark Knight, but please don't give us the equivalent of Batman and Robin.

I think you accidentally got my point. Race is an arbitrary, social construct. Obama is only black because society says he is.

Let's not forget that making a decision on the grounds of race is, by definition, racism.
It's no less racist to say that Snake Eyes can't be white and a martial arts master, and to "remedy" this by casting an Asian-Canadian actor. Because now you're saying that only Asians can be martial arts masters, which actually feeds into stereotypes that many many Asians detest, and specifically in the entertainment world, lament, because they feel they are typecasted simply by that virtue. Frankly, this casting doesn't remedy anything, it simply continues the proliferation of a bad stereotype-further compounded by the fact that Henry Goulding is not a martial artist.

In my opinion G. I. JOE is on life support and this film project is make or break for the future of the brand. Even if this Snake Eyes movie is the equivalent to Batman and Robin I might break my rule about going to go see bad movies and support it because for me it's more that the thing that brought me to fandom survives than get killed because its owner not only don't know what to do with the i.p. they don't know how to handle it.
