Summary: Whitewashing. It's the practice of casting a white actor in a role that originally was portrayed by a non-white person. And it's a conversation that has reached a new peak this week following the release of Marvel's Iron Fist and Paramount's Ghost in the Shell. To explore these properties, the conversations around them, and how each production just couldn’t stop itself from making things worse, Neil talks to Keith Chow, editor in chief of The Nerds of Color dot org, and Angie Han, movies reporter at Mashable.
