Nothing new, Hollywood has a long history of discrimination.

At least Skrein has more principles than Johansson in the bruhaha over her casting as Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell.

Skrein said it is his "hope that one day these discussions will become less necessary," and what while he's "sad" to leave the film, "if this decision brings us closer to that day, it is worth it."

Such an excellent interview in other respects as well:
