<p>Director again accused of ‘white-washing’ Asian-American roles</p>
Though Ridley Scott's recent direction The Martian is doing good at the box office, the director has landed himself in a controversy. He has been accused of ‘whitewashing’ the Asian-American characters from his movie.
Andy Weir’s original 2014 novel featured two characters described as Asian-Indian and Korean-American in the book, but watchdog group The Media Action Network for Asian Americans believes that wrong actors were cast.
