The secrets behind race...

In Secrets and Anger Mura speaks of how Miss Saigon, was all white actors when the theme was in China. He argues about the difficulty it is to be a minority and his experiences with people about his race. I agree and i don't agree. I'm not as liberal as Muras' friends, Paula and Mark, but i do take into consideration both views. The fact that the movie was based for Asians and the actors who portrayed the part were white is a bit idiotic. It's like stealing someones idea and making it your own. If a movie was played in Mexico and there was only Hindu people as the main actors, that would be one huge controversy. For one, there are not many Middle Eastern people in Mexico and to make a movie about them there is completely weird. But then there is the view of Mura's friends... They were more liberal and viewed the movie as art. There is always arguments of how people cannot understand what it's like to live in a certain culture. In my opinion that's what they were trying to do. (maybe) Like trying to say that everyone is equal; and religion is all the same, anyone can act for any movie. What gets tricky is that not one Asian was able to play a role in the movie. At least have some diversity in the Protagonist or the people surrounding them. I'm not torn by this but a bit confused on the choice. I believe in order to avoid all this anyone should have been given he right to preform.
