Anonymous asked: I'm not racist, but... I am Korean and think Iron Fist should be cast with a Caucasian actor for the Netflix series, preferably a blonde-haired one. I find it ironic that if I express this opinion anonymously I risk being labeled a Racist by Asians and Non-Asians alike, yet attaching my real name to express this opinion makes it unlikely that people like yourself will post a response to it because it doesn't fit the narrative. Feminists can believe women shouldn't play in the NFL vs 350 lb males

I think you’re totally wrong about the second part of what you’re saying here. Clearly I’ve answered this question, but i think I’d have been more likely to have answered it if it came with a name attached–depending, of course, on what exactly you said. If you were posting abuse or belittling somebody, then it wouldn’t matter, I’d skip over you as a matter of course. But I don’t have any particular narrative that I want to put over about the casting on Iron Fist–it’s very much a non-issue to me, as it’s not something that I am in any way going to be involved with.

See, I’d be really interested in discussing why you don’t think “white guy teaches ignorant foreigners meaning of their own culture” is an issue for Iron Fist (or at all?) Unfortunately, unnamed Korean, discussion ends here because I have no way to contact you. Sadness.
