I read online about how the villain's portrayal was considered to be racist against Asians because of how it was played, especially by a white actor. Not just in the 1981 version but in the 1936 version as well.
However, I had no idea that this character was suppose to be Asian. I thought he was a alien from another galaxy, which is why the white actors were made up to look weird. I thought they were trying to look like an alien, not an Asian.
Or was the character actually suppose to be just an alien, and perhaps people are seeing it was Asian, when it's not suppose to be?
