Even after the white washing debate we got the biggest white wash ever. The Indian ruler of Asia Khan noonien Singh, played by the whitest man in existence. Benedict Cumberbatch.

I feel like that was more a failure of shoe-horning in a reference to the original Star Trek II rather than a casting failure.

Take out the Kahn stuff and keep the same plot and it would be much better.

For sure. Cumberbatch is an amazing villain but having khan in this movie made no sense at all
