VIDEO : Cameron Crowe Apologizes for Casting Emma Stone As Asian American

Cameron Crowe has apologized for offending anyone over his casting of Emma Stone in a partially Asian, partially Hawaiian role in his film "Aloha." "I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice," wrote Crowe. Some criticized Stone's casting as another example of Hollywood whitewashing Asian-American movie roles. "Aloha" has been pilloried by critics and last weekend debuted weakly at the box office with $9.7 million for Sony Pictures.??
