Why Goku should be Asian (in a live action adaptation)

[Polyphase Avatron]

ASIA Is not a Race! Ugh.. its a geographical term which includes India and other middle eastern countries,if you want to say "Oriental race" just say so don't use geographical terms colloquially to denote particular races.

This is "ASIA" and yes middle east&India is a part of it.

Iraqi Goku FTW

I like how that Map shows Asia yet some countries are missing like my homeland South Korea....

[Gokuden]

Russia is also missing from that map. And there are many half-looking asian folk from that area, including asians with blonde hair, red hair, and blue/green eyes.

So is Turkey.

where i'm from, when someone says Asian, they mean oriental. To specify Asians from the sub-Indian continent, we say brown. For those from the Middle East, depending on where exactly they are from, they are called either Arabs, Middle Eastern, or even white.

He said Asian not Asia. Meaning anyone(even an Indian) can be Goku as long as he's Asian(his point of view).

no, that is not what I meant. I thought it was quite clear.

Neither race or ethnicity have an impact on acting ability. If there is a black actor somewhere who can perfectly embody the character of Goku, then I'd much rather have that guy then somebody who may "look the part."
