I don't see this as whitewashing if I'm honest. Rita was originated with a Japanese actress because it was reused footage from the original show, there's no reason they need to still adhere to that with a complete reboot. The character herself isn't tied to a specific ethnicity (especially since she's not even from Earth). The only criteria should be who can play Rita well and I have faith that Elizabeth can do that. I'm excited tbh.
