I meant the Mandarin, not Gandhi, and I know that he's half Indian and that he played that role very well.

How is my point offensive? My point is that an actor should play the role well, not that he/she should portray a stereotype, which is the opposite of my intent. I'm offended when filmmakers cast roles with people who aren't of the right ethnicity because actors of all ethnicities exist and should be given the chance so that they can perform important roles, and shouldn't be passed over for someone who just looks like the character because it's convenient. I promote diversity and you say that's it's offensive. Wow.
