those woke motherf.. would be screaming to high heaven if someone tried to replace a black skinned character with a white person. but the other way around? that's not only ok in their book, it's desired. disgusting.
Seems kind of strange coming from the group that invented Cultural Appropriation anyways...lol

They're trying to change history or even erase it.
How are they trying to change or erase history?
Are they also going around collecting up all old Snow White books and DVDs of which there are literally millions in circulation?
Nope.
The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is part of human culture and history.
So was the Bible, and they changed that, just a thought, and yet there are still plenty of Christians about.
Because books and plays are part of our culture and history and if changes are made of the original stories that have been told for many many years then it is a change of history or culture.
The story is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and not Brown Prince and the non binary gender queer creatures.

I imagine that's exactly what they have went for.
After all "there is no such thing as bad publicity".
Out with a bit of a wooden spoon really, but as you can see, it's having the desired effect, hence the discussion and controversy that has arisen over the mere colour of a fictional character in a book.
They may as well look for discussion and controversy. Bud Light did too but it came at a price with a massive sale drop. I am sure they can both survive if they only depend on their woke customers.

nice try. there are other photos from that event though that show her in a different light, pun intended.

I also have nothing against her ethnical background (part Colombian, part Polish). but the truth is, her skin is nowhere near "snow white", period.

Here's what you're mad about:
She's a few shades whiter than me, a white dude, because I've done some stuff in the sun this summer.
Cope.
You're not very convincing and you try to justify Disney's gaffe.

Even in that photo, lighter than I. How many people in this day and age are pure Caucasian?

I honestly don't know anyone with skin that is snow white, do you? Do you want them to find an albino actress?

More likely Snow White was anemic and should be eating iron-rich foods rather than apples.

I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. What are you talking about?
I see no gaffe. I see a gorgeous actress who is probably going to play an awesome Snow White.

And they all will survive and do very well in the future because future generations will be awake and inclusive and representation of all peoples in all social media formats will generate big profits. Keyword = representation.
The dwarf actor hammered the woke activist and Disney for their gaffe.

Seriously. She's 50% Polish but apparently that isn't white enough for the purity crowd.
They also seem to coveniently ignore the fact that she has a Golden Globe for her role as Maria in Spielberg's West Side Story. So she she's clearly extremely talented in roles that have a large musical component.

Piers Morgan interviews aside I don't think they like being called "dwarfs".
"Little person" or "Person of Short Stature" is generally considered to be more acceptable in this day of age.
Again its not 1923 any longer AlienBorg.
snow is no longer white...

So it's ok for the "Councils of Nicaea" to change ""stories"" and decide what books became part of the Bible, but not Hollywood or Disney to change a pigment?
Again changing the colour of a ""fictional"" character's skin in a film hardly amounts to changing history.
If in doubt well see white Jesus.
Does the colour he is depicted change the message behind the man?
Nope.
Hence the reason I'm rather ambivalent to believe a less-than-pristine white, Snow White, is going to be any sort of issue unless people choose to make it so.
The story is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and not Brown Prince and the non binary gender queer creatures.
The story is still Snow White, the difference being its not 1937 any longer but 2023.
The world is what it is, and wont stop spinning just because you can't handle the scenery, don't like the pace, or wish to get off.
Don't sweat the small stuff is my best advice AlienBorg.
End of the day if you do not want to see a version of Snow White where she is not white, don't watch the film, or simply choose to watch the 1937 version where she is indeed more to a colour of your liking, problem solved i should imagine.
Because books and plays are part of our culture and history and if changes are made of the original stories that have been told for many many years then it is a change of history.
