Netflix’s ‘Death Note’ Was Whitewashed Because Asian Actors Couldn’t ‘Speak Perfect English’
I’m not surprised. These people that make the decision to greenlight a show want more viewership. And they want the viewers to look like them. This Netflix movie gonna flop big time! ANME FREAKS ARE SOME SERIOUS FANS!
Reacting to accusations of whitewashing, one of the producers of Netflix’s “Death Note” remake claimed that the roles actually could have gone to Asian actors. This didn’t happen, however, because apparently, the casting team couldn’t find an Asian actor who can “speak perfect English.”
