Anti-racebending. Let the uproar begin.
I read the comments and ... wow.
I do have a question though. I understand that Thor is a comic book movie so this isn't really applying to that, except that it sparked the questions in my head. The mythology and dogma of certain parts of the world are sometimes just as integral into the make-up and identity of that country as, say, the non-mythological government (Dubya not withstanding) or people that shaped that country. I wonder if there's a difference between color-blind casting on mythological people and real-life people have the same reaction if say a black British actress were cast as Queen Elizabeth I or an Asian actor were cast as Thomas Jefferson?
Something in my head says that it's totally different, but something else says, "Why?" Or is it just that my asshole is showing again?

As for the race stuff--if Avatar: The Last Airbender is supposed to be all Asian, Asgard is supposed to be all white. I have no problem with that. He's a good actor, he'll do a good job, but I totally see where the beef is coming from.
I do not have that stance with Shakespeare, though.

I think interesting things can be done by manipulating the race of the casting of Othello.
There weren't any Asians at all in the original casting of Airbender.
I know. It's why I brought racebending up in the first place.
