Any Other White Fans Of The Wiz?

Show me where it says in the little mermaid script the the character must be white.

They made her white. As this is her.

And that says she must always and forever be portrayed as white?

Why?

 

[ChristisKing]

And that says she must always and forever be portrayed as white?

Why?

Just because that's the way that it is.

 

[Crepitus]

Ah, so you've got nothing except your bigotry.

You are dismissed.

"white roles"? What is a "white role"?

I agree in principal, but the double standard is what bothers me

If Hollywood released a remake of a movie where a classic black character was recast as white, everyone would lose their ******* shit

But if white people protest changing the race of characters who were classically white, we’re told we’re overreacting and to stop being racist

Why not just portray Jesus as a woman? I guess that makes you sexist.

I mean if history, background, precedent, or skin color do not matter (the original movie and book were written at a time when most people in the Midwest had never even SEEN a black person yet, so why should we stop with race? Or even gender?

Hell, I say, let's make Dorothy a Muslim and put a burka on her. Then we won't know if she is white, black, male, female, or Palestinian.

Food for thought: we could even fly the Palestinian flag over the city of Oz!

And instead of the little dog Toto, let's make him a camel.

was Hamiton Latino?

Not that I'm aware of.

Why would I have a problem with that?

With any of that?

These are all imaginary things. They have no basis in reality. They can be whatever you want them to be.

Hell, I read a sci-fi short where the president was a super intelligent bacterial culture that grew in milk. Ayup, president Yogurt

Here's the part that will make you happy: It was described as "creamy white in color".

But I did here they were considering running the blueberry flavored one next.

I wasn’t a fan of the little meremaid being reimagined as a black woman

I’m not losing sleep over it and would never see the movie either way, but the character is a Danish cultural icon, and Danish people are white

Again, it’s a double standard

If Disney adapted a classic African folktale into a movie and cast a white actress in the role, people would lose their shit

let's make a movie of Uncle Toms Cabin, starring Tom Cruise.

Snow White, with Beyonce?

according to the original story, Snow White was given that name because, "if only I had a child as white as snow with lips as red as blood and hair as black as the wood in this frame.”

yet, the recent movie starred a dusky skinned Latina.

hardly someone with a 'snow white complexion', was it.?

I meant which black character have they changed?

They haven’t, they wouldn’t dare.

That’s kind of the point, it’s a double standard

If you think I'm gonna be upset by trivial shit like that you are sadly mistaken.

If you don't like the disney movies make a billion dollars and buy the rights so you can remakes them your way.

And then they made her brown.

What's you point?

you're the one bringing up trivial shit, junior,
certain characters have been 'white' for centuries, and whine because they can't be portrayed as something else.

Ok. Give me an example of a character of color who was reimagined as white. Just one

Cause I can give you dozens of examples of white characters who were reimagined as a person of color
