Remenber years ago when people wanted Netflix' Andy Rand/Iron Fist to be Asian instead of white like he is in the comics?? Yeah, that was weird. Specially if you consider that if Andy Rand was Asian then people would complain about how the character promotes Asian sterotypes. Just picture this:
Complainers: "NOOOOO, Andy Rand can't be a white man! He has to be Asian"
Netflix: "but he's white in the comics"
Complainers: "I DON'T CARE!"
Netflix: "fine" *proceeds to turn Andy Rand into an Asian character*
Different group of complainers: "NOOOOOO, this is promoting Asian stereotypes!!!"
Netflix : ???????
Are non-Asian characters somehow not allowed learn Eastern martial arts? What's next, are we gonna apply these restrictions to real people too? This is exacly what Bruce Lee fought against, the idea the Eastern martial arts should be restricted to Asian people only.
In any case, all those people who wanted an Asian martial arts superhero in the MCU got their wish years later with Shang-Chi, who got his own movie.
