Fantasy Literature

Did you get upset about Akira Kurosawa redoing King Lear in Ran? Or how Kumonosu-jō is a retelling of Macbeth? Or how Warui Yatsu Hodo Yoku Nemuru is Hamlet all over again? And all with Japanese actors, rather than the original white characters they're portraying.

By the way did you get at all upset when Hollywood replaced the Japanese actors in the hugely iconic Seven Samurai with white actors in The Magnificent Seven? Or how they had white actors in Inferno to replace the Japanese cast of Yojimbo? In both cases, Hollywood replaced the exceptional talent of Toshiro Mifune with Eli Wallach in the former, and Jean Claude Van Damme in the latter.

So does this mean you're okay with cultural appropriations when white people do it to minorities, but not when minorities do it in reverse?
