I'm A National Fucking Treasure: Actors who COULD HAVE Played Khan

But no, this is the logical choice.

I really wasn’t going to reblog this post because I am tired of talking about this, but I’m sick of the prevalent ‘all brown people are alike’ idea of this casting. The first actor’s name is Oded Fehr, and he is Israeli, not desi or Middle Eastern. You cannot cast him as a race-appropriate Khan when he is not Indian at all, and bonus, you cannot cast a Middle Eastern actor as South Asian because those are two very different cultures, period.

Like, I appreciate the sentiment of this post, but please don’t add even more inaccurate casting to your post about whitewashing.

It’s the Kali from Teen Wolf debacle all over again. Remember that, guys? We shouldn’t forget those lessons so quickly.

We need people of color representing their actual races in media, not brown people representing different brown people because White audiences can’t be bothered to tell the difference.

But, yeah. “Not Cumberbatch” is the ultimate lesson.

I think Cumberbatch worked quite well. Not everything has to be an equality stand. Can’t it just be a suddenly hot dude that looks good in black?

No. No it really can’t. Because not all hot actors that look good in black are white actors. When this character was written, he wasn’t written for a no-chin, exceptionally pale English guy. It was written for a man that was Indian.

Did you literally not read anything that was written above?

When people of color come in and tell you /exactly/ what was wrong with a certain situation, your white ass is not allowed to show up and just tell them that “not everything has to be from an equality stand”.

You don’t get to do that. You let them speak, and you shut the fuck up and listen. You don’t get a say in what’s okay and what’s not okay when it comes to racism.

This is not okay, and you need to sit the fuck down.

And you need to stop telling my white ass what to do. My white ass is allowed to do whatever it wants. You yourself? The only thing you’re doing here is contributing to every rasicm issue in this world with your inability to express your - however strong - opinions on the matter in a non-offensive way. Because of course I’m going to shut up if you tell me to.

I will say it again. I loved Cumberbatch in this part. I see no problem with him playing this character. Because skin colour doesn’t matter to me - actor’s portrayal does. And because nobody is obligated to base their opinions on underlying social issues if they don’t want to. Seriously, some people need to learn the line between truth, awareness and righteousness that borders on stupidity.

wooooooow that’s some bullshit right there

good job being horrible

Ricardo Montalban was a Latin American Mexican man playing a character who was suppose to be Indian and that is problematic as it is but it was also the 60’s-70’s and just by having one POC character in a non-stereotypical roles was a godsend and Star Trek was making an effort to have a lot of those. But today we are suppose to know better than that, and there are many POC actors of Indian and South Asian descent that would have fit better for Khan than Cumberbatch.

Also having Khan be a white guy pretty much pisses on Roddenberry who based him on his friend Kim Noonien Singh and it pisses on Ricardo Montalban who was a struggling POC actor who couldn’t get a role that wasn’t stereotypical and he struggled with racism in Hollywood and went to co-found a Foundation that addressed and brought that shit up to light (and he got some major backlash because of it).
