Its his prerogative to do that, its mine to say its stupid of him to do so.
Bowing to SJWs doesnt score him points with me.
The acting profession has had ppl play outside their ethnicities/changed characters' ethnicities, since acting began.
Slapping a derogatory moniker on the practice doesn't all of a sudden make it wrong.
I do like the double standard inherent in all this though.
A black Gunslinger is lauded and cries of more starring roles for black actors are loud.
Cast a white guy in a role originally written as asian and all if a sudden its a bad thing to do.
But hey, these are the same ppl who bitched and said Netflix Iron Fist's role should have gone to an asian actor.
Despite the fact that Iron Fist was a white character.
Despite the fact that saying a MA role should automatically be asian is pretty ****ing racist in and of itself.
But again, everyone has a right to their opinion.
Skein bowing out because of those opinions? Stupid of him.
In my opinion.

A little effort also goes a long way too
This is the character that they picked Skein to play, Someone of asian descent

From what i heard from King regarding that character, In the Dark Tower books they never specify what colour he is
