You see it in movie after movie the latest example being Scarlet Johanssen playing a Japanese character in her new movie. HEY HOLLYWOOD WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT 100% OF THE POPULATION YOU KNOW
In the original Star Trek Khan was played by a Mexican actor. Way to set progress back 30 years Hollywood!
Javier Barhem, Bencio Del Toro Antonio Bandarus and even Johhny Depp could've and should've been cast as Khan!
Unfortunately Bardem was doing Skyfall around the same time (playing a similar character), they tried to get BDT but his price wasn't met so passed, AB was quite "Richardo Montalbany" but was probably abit too old (mid 50s) and maybe too recognisable? and Depp was too expensive and too in demand (but he's abit of an oddball so hes probably a star trek fan and probably wouldve wanted to play a villain for once)
