Is it wrong for Caucasian actors to wear makeup to appear Asian (or black)?

The article presents an incoherent mixture of percieved insult, lack of Asian role models on TV, and loss of work for Asian actors. Any or all of those issues might be valid, but they are all different, and mixing them up produces only confusion.

If it is a matter of work discrimination, how about making up nonwhite actors up to appear Caucasian? All actors' race would cease to matter.

If it is a matter of visible role models on TV, that's a matter of appearance only. Why does it matter what the actor's real skin color or appearance is, beneath the makeup?

If you feel insulted, please explain why an actor's makeup constitutes a statement about Asians, because I don't see that.

Thailand's dictators don't have elections, but they have bogus opinion polls.

Israel's ambassador to the US has gone out of his way to send holiday gifts made by colonies in Palestine.

The TSA may stop some passangers from requesting a physical search instead of body scanning.

I don't object to the millimeter-wave scanners now in use, but I still consider this change dangerous. What if they move to another machine that is potentiallky dangerous, as the x-ray scanners were?

The US military thought Obama's support for "moderate" Syrian resistance was only helping Jihadis, so it began feeding intelligence indirectly to Assad to help him fight those rebels.
