Comics creator Rob Liefeld says casting an Asian American Iron Fist would be ‘reverse white-washing’
The controversy over Iron Fist casting began long before the Netflix show was in production, with fans campaigning for an Asian American actor to be cast Danny “Iron Fist” Rand.
Created at the height of the 1970s kung-fu movie craze, Iron Fist is an American who learns martial arts from masters at the hidden city of K'un-Lun. He becomes their best student and earns the power of Iron Fist, the ability to channel superhuman energy into his fists. Basically it’s a story about a white guy being better at martial arts than everyone else, steeped in tropes that critics regard as examples of cultural appropriation.
Marvel wound up casting actor Finn Jones, who is white and has no martial arts background, and the backlash returned when a new trailer was released this weekend. That’s when 1990s comics legend Rob Liefeld chimed in, arguing that an Asian Iron Fist would be “reverse white-washing.”

I love that Robert Liefeld thinks anyone is gonna listen to his thoughts on what is and isn’t racist, dude doesn’t even know what a human being looks like.
