And what about the controversy surrounding her playing a character that in the comics was depicted as an Asian man?
“The script that I was presented with did not feature an Asian man for me to play, so that was never a question when I was being asked to do it,” she responded. “It all will be revealed when you see the film, I think. There are very great reasons for us to feel very settled and confident with the decisions that were made.”

God forbid if “the lowly” DCEU did something like this…

Tilda Swinton is the one of the whitest actress there is. So this is plainly whitewashing. Period.

Of course it is. I agree completely.

Right…. whitewashing is whitewashing no matter how you try to dress it up.

Yeah but literally in the same movie, they cast a very in-demand black actor, to play Baron Mordo. It’s not so much whitewashing, as much as it’s Marvel trying to stockpile well-known/relevant actors and actresses, for their movies. At least they didn’t just cast a white DUDE! But it’s definitely an out-of-the-box casting choice. LOL
