Hollywood Whitewashing: 16 Times White Actors Played Minority Characters

4. Emma Stone in Aloha

When Cameron Crowe cast Emma Stone in Aloha, she took on a Hawaiian character that was supposed be a quarter Chinese. Many people criticized the choice. Cameron apologized but made clear that the character was actually based on a real life Air Force pilot, Allison Ng, who was part Asian but fair haired, like Emma. Maybe he should have tried harder to find a more fitting Asian or Pacific Islander actress. Even big names like Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams and Bradley Cooper on the marquis couldn’t save this film from bombing.
