[xklbsncv] White actors

American political correctness (in arguments such as cultural appropriation) likes to place non-white actors in films, but have them act in a way that white audiences can relate to (because making money off white Americans is the bottom line).  Inspired by Western remake of Ghost in the Shell.

However, more interesting from an acting and screenwriting standpoint would be the opposite: white actors accurately acting non-white.  Someone from another culture watches the film and thinks, "That's me / my culture!  I've never seen me accurately depicted on screen (in an American film)!  Even though of course the racial features are of course not accurate."  This is, of course, not a good way to make money off of white Americans, who will not appreciate it, and may even find it unpleasant.  Even foreign viewers unable to suspend disbelief might find the cognitive dissonance unpleasant.

Reversing again, we might see it in foreign films aimed at the American audience, those that do well with Americans.  Though we do need to distinguish between a foreign film doing well universally (because it appeals to something universal in humans) or specifically for Americans.
