Adults, what do you think of the caucasian casting of KFP 3?


from the adult POV, what do you think of caucasian actors cast as Asian characters?
Cast: cranston, hudson, hoffman, jack black as asian characters. Wrong and inappropriate for 2016, correct?

Who cares.

Why does it matter? The characters aren't really "Asian" - they're made-up, animated, animal characters. Talk about political correctness running amok. Seriously, complaining about who's voicing animated characters? Were you upset because the new Jungle Book movie was not voiced entirely by Indian actors, as that's where it takes place? Get real.

Ridiculous. A good voice actor can do a great job on any character where race/gender/etc. is unimportant. What about all these male characters voiced by women (Bart Simpson by Yeardley Smith just to name one) is that wrong too? What about James Avery, an African American who voiced an awesome Shredder?

I will say however that the voice cast is ridiculously high profile for the roles they actually play. Chan, Rogen, Cross, Liu, Van Damme, etc. could've easily been replaced as their voices really aren't that much in it.
