So let’s say hypothetically


If a white actress was cast to play Moana would the same people telling us to get over a black actress playing Ariel have the same attitude? Or would they accuse Disney of “white washing” and being “culturally insensitive” or whatever catch phrase they are using these days?

You know the answer to your question. It's a one way street.

I wouldn't have a problem with a white actress playing Moana. Some people would object, but there are others who wouldn't be bothered by it.

Why would they object? I thought it was just a kids movie and people were just supposed to chill out about race swapping?

reply

There are always people who like to complain and object to every little thing.

I see

Making things non-white = good
Making things white = bad

Seems to be the woke lefts standards these days. It’s OK to be racist as long as it’s against white people. That’s why they’re pitching such a fit that now colleges have to make admission decisions based on merit rather than skin color.
