Hollywood sure has a "strange" way of showing they are taking a step in a direction toward more diversity. Case in point? Doctor Strange, set to debut in November of 2016, has a high profile role for an Asian character. This character is known as “ the Ancient One” – a “mystical mentor to Doctor Strange, of Tibetan extraction and more than 500 years old. His powers include astral projection, teleportation, and the ability to create energy blasts.”
Since the beginning, Hollywood has sorely lacked diversity when it comes to providing leading or supporting roles for Asians, so this sounds like the perfect role for an Asian actor, right? Wrong. Their (almost positive) choice? Tilda Swinton. Swinton is a white lesbian female actress…not Asian, and not male. Apparently that counts towards diversity in Hollywood. The same sound came when the new movie Aloha featured a half-Asian woman played by ...Emma Stone.
