Yeah.
The supposed issue is that Hollywood won't give chances to up and coming Asian actors to prove themselves in the same way that they will to white actors as a sort of (not deliberate) selection bias. I couldn't claim to know whether that is at all true, but its possible.

If you are unaware, there is this claim being leveled against the movie because Scarlet Johansen was cast as the lead role of "Major Motoko Kusagnagi".
While yes the name is Japanese, I wonder have these people objecting ever seen the source material?
Even in the original Manga, three Anime movies ("Ghost in the shell", "GITS 2; Innocence", and "GITS Solid state", as well as the two seasons of the TV anime); the JAPANESE CREATORS depicted nearly all of the characters as caucasians despite their names, or where it was located.
Remember this is ANIME where most characters look caucasian despite every reason they shouldn't; why I have no idea, yet it is a pervasive phenomenon that the JAPANESE creators perpetuate themselves!!
Furthermore the male lead is named Bateaux (a French name) yet he has no French accent and I hear no-one complaining about that (To be fair however his nationality isn't actually spelled out).
I accept this as being loyal to the source material (and apparently so do most Japanese). See the link below if you must.
What do you think NS; more importantly what does the GITS fans on NS think!?
Here is the link showing Japanese opinion.
