Maybe one day a white actor cast in a role that’s intended to be played by a person of color will acknowledge the consequences of whitewashing on communities underrepresented on screen. But today is not that day, and Scarlett Johansson is not the actor.

Speaking with Marie Claire for the magazine’s March issue, Johansson addresses the controversy surrounding her casting in “Ghost in the Shell,” the film adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s wildly popular Japanese comic. In the original source material and various other iterations, Johansson’s character, a human-cyborg hybrid soldier named Major Kusanagi, has been traditionally portrayed as an Asian woman.

“I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person. Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive,” she said. “Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity. Certainly, I feel the enormous pressure of that — the weight of such a big property on my shoulders.”

Yes, it is well worth noting that very few actresses in Hollywood get the chance to helm a blockbuster action franchise. But pivoting away from the issue of whitewashing by celebrating her own casting as a win for gender parity in the entertainment industry is a classic case of white feminism. Here, Johansson is prioritizing a brand of feminism that largely benefits white women, as opposed to the many capable Asian actresses working today, and uses it to divert attention away from the valid criticisms of the Asian community about the film.
