Speaking as a non-american, non-white.

Representation is mostly an american issue, most of the world doesn't have problems with it; when I was a kid, we played to be anime characters, us cartoon characters or local heroes depending on tv popularity. I can understand that in the segregated America, having a hero of your etnicity is important, but none of us cared about the skin or ethnicity; it wasn't an issue in our local culture.

On the other hand, shaming another culture into having the same perspective as your own, it's the book definition of cultural imperialism.

EDIT: BTW, I do think Scarlett is a poor casting choice.

How is it propaganda if all that you said it's true? With all your fear mongering ideas of communism, you can't blame them for capitalism own weakness. Karl Marx[1] predicted this and that's why he postulated that capitalism would prey on itself. Everyone who tried to warn about this weakness and every call to fix this (just like your comment) was dismissed as communist and enemy of the western world. Communist might be a bad idea, but not everything should be treated "vicious propaganda".

[1]: Born in Prussia, part of the Western world AFAIK.

karagarga is great in that regard. I have a netflix account and also hulu for a while, but torrents are truly the best of all.

This. Perhaps the lack of perspective is because symbolism; it's a common misconception that 3-D perspective was discovered during renaissance. In fact, the artists deliberately disregarded perspective due cultural canon and religious symbolism and probably had a set of rules of how to do it [1].
