Yet they were all Asian. They had a black pimp (who was very close to being a cop killer) and a black, homeless drunk. Tells me (what I already knew) just what Asians thinks of black folks.

Someone once told me its some kind of making fun of the way races are depicted on film. American films do it to the Asians too I guess.

I'm Canadian, and there's this one pointless scene of that Vancouver child playing with toys and he had chocolate on his mouth. I never understood this. I suppose they could be saying Canadians are spoiled and sloppy? Not sure how that's a stereotype, though. The scene is just pointless. Would've been much cooler if a monster was attacking Vancouver.

I'm not sure why they chose the location, but the scene was far from pointless. The kid was playing with two toys. Godzilla, and Gamera (A monster from a Toho competitor.) The kid calls Gamera a loser and proceeds to throw him in the fireplace. Marking an insult to Gamera. my guess is they probably weren't allowed rights to use the actual monster in the movie so they snuck in this scene as a slap to the face.

As far as I know Toho never intended to use Gamera, especially since they already have a large selection of villains for Godzilla. Ones that don't even appear.

The scene could have been dropped.

From my part of the world it was cool to see the Sydney Opera House get trashed by a giant monster.... That would be so cool.

They were mostly Asian (and yes, there was a black man amongst the group that was stationed there when the chief villain turned the mutants but you conveniently overlooked that) because they were at the Japanese headquarters. You can't possibly think that the entire planetary defense group would all be stationed in one country, This film obviously focused on the group that was there because that's where the main characters were and that's where the villains decided to take their ship. You also neglect to mention that there was a black man at the base of the South Pole; I guess that didn't suit your agenda of trying to project racism.
