REMEMBER THAT AWKWARD TIME WHEN JOSS WHEDON CREATED THE FIREFLY UNIVERSE, INFUSED IT WITH CHINESE CULTURE AND LANGUAGE, AND CAST A TON OF NON-ASIAN PEOPLE FOR HIS “BLENDING OF ALL RACES” BULLSHIT AND MADE ALL THE ASIAN LOOKING PEOPLE EXTRAS IN BACKWATER TOWNS AND THEN AWKWARDLY CAST ZAC EFRON AS YOUNG SIMON AND PUT HIM IN YELLOWFACE?

You've got to cut back a little on the small liberal arts college kool-aid, Ibby. The Firefly future was infused with Chinese culture because the implication was that China won (or was at least currently winning.) The same way every Chinese child learns English, right now. Sure, it's a simplistic and I think incorrect prediction of the future of world politics and culture, but it certainly doesn't require him to cast Asian actors.
And the idea that Zac Efron was in "yellowface" is just stupid. Judge the screenshot for yourself.
