Why do you need to defend giving an actor a job, the worlds gone bloody mad.

It's strange, could there be some folklore, myth, tale, or something that could be the reason for this obviously racist and unacceptable casting decision?

this reflects reality so who exactly complained that led to having an article about this? you send the most disgusting white men to east/southeast asia and they'll do fine with their white privilege, same type who cant get an attractive white women and creepy as f*ck

Can't do right for doing wrong. The sjws are at it again. Get a grip and move on.

There's always someone who will pick holes and moan about whatever you do. They need to grow up, after all they are stories.

Ironically, she’s the biggest social justice warrior going. See how these fuckers eat their own? It’s a race to the bottom. Claudia is a person, not an Asian.

Jews can decide what is anti semitic (not the hooked nose bankers from Harry Potter btw) but East Asian's cannot decide what is racist against them? Women cannot define what a woman is, but a man can say he's a woman, no discussion allowed? Who decides what is offensive to whom?

K

The World of Entertainment, Politics, and the use of the word "Women" is being undermined by a minority who are looking to find something that meets their personal and/or political self serving needs.

It’s crazy too as the actress playing her seems so excited about it and I have no doubt she was thrilled to be a part of these movies. It’s like you can’t write anything anymore without a whole group freaking out about it. It’s a fictional story so get over it.

If it’s racist why has the actor taken on the role, people need to get out more

Ah, her principles change when it makes her money.

🙄🙄

What’s the problem?

Black person played by white is wrong Asian person pet of white person is wrong White role played by black person is OK PC brigade gone bonkers FFS

Much easier to criticise than write your own book and cast actors after it’s become a success.

You know who ! Giggles, even she knows.

Please read the last three words again..... I think it is a made up thing

Why did she have to defend her casting choice in the first place?

Of course she would

Beep beep, all aboard the offended bus! 🚌

SJW destroy everything. Games, movies, series. The curse our times.

Don’t particularly like her but she shouldn’t have to defend anything, people need to grow up!

Well Mrs. Rowling you’re being judged by the very same people you support in your lefty ideal world, unbelievable

Lols at the SJW mob going full circle and attacking one of their own

False outrage of a nothing situation some people need to get a life

It shouldn't matter about the colour of someone's skin or their ethnicity as long as they can act is all that should matter

Have you ever seen someone look so smug.

i think it should have been a hairy arsed glaswegian.

Oh come on, people. For f**ks sake.

Why do we have to question everything.

I miss read that headline at first ‘Fantastic Breasts’ Thought Sky we’re pushing their luck with jk_rowling 😂😂

Can't stand her

She can cast who she wants can’t she?

It’s based off of Asian mythology. There’d be outrage if it was given to a white woman too. And if it was given to a man it’d be sexist because the Naga are women. She couldn’t win with this.

I thought this story was click bate because I thought there would be no need to defend her decision. I then read the article anyway and end up in bazzaro land. People are crazy.

Fine with that but why did a white female actor (can one say actress these days?) get forced out of playing a Latino in West Side Story .. what’s good for one should apply to all surely ?

Or to put it another way; "Asian woman lands well paid acting role". People seem to be actively hunting for things to be offended by these days. The same people would still be moaning if there were no Asian actors in the film.

It's a voice over. If race matters to you for the voice over of an imaginary snake, go get some fresh air and reassess your life

Why am actress, why not an actor? after all Dr. Who is now a woman

Why do people need to complain about everything? Especially when it comes to movies jeez just relax and enjoy it...

People are debating the casting of an Asian actor as Nagini in Fantastic BeastsVoldemort’s giant snake and Horcrux, Nagini, has been given a back story in the latest Fantastic Beasts film and the casting of a South Korean actress in the role has sparked heated conversations online. In the books, Nagini was simply a snake with magical powers, but now, the final trailer of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald revealed that she was once a woman. Claudia Kim was cast in the role, and it raised some eyebrows. One fan wrote: Not really. Not as much as the Witcher. SteveBrookes69 Ffs, it’s a kids’ film, who cares? I would like to contribute, but this would force me to watch the trailer. No thanks. I'll see the film, and tell you what I think. I really liked the first Fantastic Beasts. Finally, a male lead role that challenges the Hollywood standard by bringing empathy as a strength.
