anyone who knows this much about animae is a giant NERD.

Nerd heritage outranks ethnic heritage, no doubt. I bet my house contains twice as many manga books, and three times as many anime DVDs, as freshnesschronic's.

I think that freshness hasn't seen much Anime before, and is basing his whole indignation on something he was directed to be indignant about.

Can animation be racist in the same way? There are no asian animated actors playing non-asian animated parts, per se.

Who plays white characters in Bollywood movies? Are there any white characters in Bollywood movies?

it's got a flying white buffalo in it! I don't even think it's set on Earth/Terra!

You (any of you) expect casting to reflect some arbitrary pc reality?

See, you've blabbed about the white buffalo. Now all the other buffalo are gonna want to fly.:mad:

are you calling me a buffalo???? Just because I'm white and want to fly. It's so unfair!

(I'm sympathetic to anyone who experiences racism, direct, or indirect. I just don't think this film presents the most compelling example.)
