if there's a strong female lead.
Logic according to Scarlett Johansson!

I don't see any problem with it. If the Chinese had any talent and made a movie with a Korean playing an exaggerated version of a stupid american, I'd think that was hilarious. Racial stereotyping is always hilarious.
Don't give up the fight for truly independent cinema!
I think it is odd that they didn't change the characters names. All these people who are not Japanese have Japanese names...

Okay, liar. You and Rooney Mara should go be best friends now.

Mamoru Oshii said "The name ‘Motoko Kusanagi’ and her current body are not her original name and body, so there is no basis for saying that an Asian actress must portray her."
shareMeh, it's not whitewashing if they don't try to portray a white person being of different race - heavy makeup and such.
In this film, they didn't do that. They simply give a Japanese brain/computer a new Caucasian-looking android body.
Whitewashing is what they did with natives in the old films about cowboys/indians.
It wasn't half as bad as a lot of people made problem with it.
Spoiler
Actually the Major originally Japanese with the name Motoko Kusanagi, but her cyber body is Caucasian. Yes, in this movie.
