You mean a non issue at all like the non issue of Gal Gadot playing Cleopatra?
Cleopatra was of Greek descent. Gadot was actually a good cast.
A non issue like ScarJo in GitS?
ScarJo was playing an Android. It seems weird that your problem with that casting is who plays a fucking ROBOT, when you had non Japanese actors playing (allegedly) Japanese people. Like this one, but I guess since he's black, that's OK.

Iron Fist?
Iron Fist character was originally a white dude from New York. It seems that we've reached the point where a white dude playing a white character has become politically incorrect (unless that character is evil or a feeble, of course, then it's mandatory to be white).
Like Matt Damon in The great wall? Like Jake G in the prince of Persia? Tom C in The last samurai?
Here you have a point, but we're talking a few movies versus every fucking movie and series nowadays. Not to say that if you take, for example, The Last Samurai, the portrayal of Japanese people was extremely respectful. Ken Watanabe's character was great. Complete opposite of modern Hollywood, fully committed to demonize white males.
