Interesting. I had only seen whitewashing wank, and I had only seen that wank about IM3 brought up to add onto wank about Marvel announcing they were casting Tilda Swinton for a role in Dr Strange that was portrayed by an Asian character in the comics.
I've seen people upset because Marvel could have cast an Asian actor in the role instead of casting a white actor, and if they really wanted to cast a woman, they could have cast an Asian woman.
But this has been tumblr wank, so I'm sure the wank about gender is wherever the fanboys hang out.
I think a lot of the whitewashing wank happened because people were upset that Marvel cast another bland white guy for Doctor Strange instead of the more popular POC fancasts.
Also, at this point, a lot of people were still angry that Elizabeth Olsen was cast as Wanda in AoU because they thought Marvel was trying to erase Wanda's Roma-Jewish heritage (not that two Jewish characters supporting and working for Nazis went over any better - and erasing any reference to their religion caused wank as well).
