While I completely understand where your friend is coming from, Alex, and with my heritage as such I also understand the long-held resentments between various Asian culture, I have to question whether any SAG rules mandating that roles be played by a certain race. Would such a rule from SAG be just another form of racism, preventing one actor from portraying a role because of his or her race? After all, it is "acting" not "being," even if it's coming from an actor of the portrayed race or sexual orientation.
I detest the word race.
