They already did that with John Wayne. White people have been appropriating characters from other races and casted them as white long before the woke stuff began. In fact, they still continue to do that - Ghost in the Shell, upcoming Three Body Problem adaptation by Netflix, etc. Mind you, there is/was no shortage of potential Asian actors, one of the early sex symbols was actually a Japanese man Sessue Hayakawa and white men got extremely angry & insecure about that.
Yeah it's burning like crazy in the north here. It's so dry, more or less no rain this sring and didn't get a lot of snow this winter in these region. Got some windthrow during the spring and cannot clear up the wood trails on the land because of the risk to put everything ablaze. Smoking NewYork is the least of our problems.
White Americans think they can "fix" the decades of discriminative policies that whitewashed many movies, TV shows, etc. and typecasted minorities into stereotypical roles by doing the same but in reverse. This just shows that they did not learn anything and instead of actually creating new stories with e.g. Black people in mind (which Black panther did and, surprise-surprise, it did well), they just go the easy way.
