There you go then,
I am in Scotland, and the wind here is carrying the voices of all the screaming Canadians who hate an Ozzie playing Wolverine.

I was just kidding. Obviously, 3000 miles away from Canada as i am, i hear no screaming.
I think it's dealing with a history of discrimination. Canadians and Australians are both technically white, and don't have the same history of slavery, lynching, significant discrimination etc. If you're an ethnic minority and you never see people of your ethnicity in movies, and then the few parts that are either played by white actors or are semi insulting stereotypes it's an issue
As a white person in America it's different. I'm part Canadian too, and having white Hugh jackman play a white Canadian it's a non-isse

I still think my favorite is Robert Downey Jr. playing a white actor pretending to be black for a roll and never recovers.

Last comment and then I'm shutting the hell up, since this isn't really my fight... although reading other people's comments I'm pretty impressed how open minded everybody is about this.
I think it's hard to really relate or understand any of these racial issues without having lived as an ethnic minority and experienced them first hand growing up.
I'm lucky to have grown up with a lot of different kinds of people so I've gained some insight into their experiences by proxy. But I have no gay friends (that I know of) and I'm still like "why's everybody getting pissed off about people saying f a g? Everybody says it." It's just hard to get that perspective.

The headsculpt looks to be the only thing about this figure. A Black Suit/Tie is a dime a dozen on ebay cheap and the katana from Snake Eyes or Storm Shadow works just fine. The body looks like the same for Hawkeye?
