The movie being complete garbage aside, my problem with it wasn't because Goku was white.

What annoy me most was the fact that almost the entire cast for the movie consist of Asian actors, and it was pretty freaking obvious that the producers behind the movie was trying to make the "Asian" origin of the show to be the selling point of the movie. With the exception of Goku and Piccolo (who is a freaking green alien anyways) The only non-Asian actors are either minor or dead.

It's the same BS "Lets make the main character white so all of the Asian obsessed white boys will have something they can relate to" that Hollywood pulled with Forbidden Kingdom
The producer and director are Asian aren't they? And two of the major characters are white, one is green, and the minor characters are Asian.

It's a martial arts/wire-fu movie, of course they are going to play up the Asian angle.

And isn't "white boys" a racial slur?
