Oh yeah I agree. I’m all for making them Asian in order to correct the appropriation from the series but they’re canonically Jewish and as such they need to stay that way.

I don’t think people make race bends to erase their jewishness…there are tons of Asian people who are tired of seeing their cultures stolen from them and used as space props. And to see a person who isn’t Asian in their cultural regalia is upsetting to them.

Like it isn’t fair at all to try to accuse Asian fans of erasing jewishness when they’re sitting here watching their stuff get appropriated like it’s nothing.

Like I’m shocked that the racism Asian fans and Asian culture faces because of Padme’s wardrobe wasn’t one of anons concerns. I understand what is being said and why anon is upset but the anti-asian sentiment in anons ask is strong.

If i saw an actress doing black face, and they weren’t black, I’d call them out and want a black person in the role regardless of the originals actors identity….Natalie Portman is partaking in yellow face and appropriation and the fans have every right to want to avoid that.

Also Jewish Asian people exist and anon completely ignored that too. And I am only speaking for Padme because I have only seen people race bend Padme…

Like the guilt tripping and racism in anons tone is strong. Just say you hate Asians wanting their culture respected and go anon…

(And like I know anon didn’t explicitly mention Asian but like, those are the most famous fancasts I’ve seen so I know what anon is talking about)
