This is whitewashing. :P
I mean it should be obvious that she is, even considering the fact that she is a cyborg. I guess our white guilt and ScarJo fetish leads us to defending this garbage.

I'm not Asian, but it is white-washing. Also, what's with the ScarJo fetish, especially in sci-fi? Is she the only actress allowed to do sci-fi now?

Please get on with your lives. Good night, and good luck.
