reappropriating "reverse racism" (sort of)

[glass_icarus]

So would you call this Ghost in the Shell whitewashing bullshit Dolezal, or reverse-Dolezal?? Inquiring minds would like to know.

(Sidenote: I can't believe Dolezal is what passes for plot twist these days. Thanks, Hollywood.)

I know who Rachel Dolezal is and I know they cast a white actress for the Japanese lead in Ghost the the Shell, but I feel like that's insufficient information to process your remarks.
