  • carachen It's not racist if some fans want casting decisions to stick to the original script. If someone decided to cast Tiana as a white actress, there would undoubtedly be retaliation as well. Double standards.

    • carachen   @user_32107 I honestly think that the solution to a lack of POC representation in media isn't to race-bend existing roles; instead, Hollywood and Disney should create new roles that positively portray and empower POC. Race-bending existing, familiar characters will only serve to foster resentment and stubbornness in the minds of the very populations we are trying to change. Also, as a POC myself and seeing how Disney botched the Mulan remake, I would rather have positive representation come from a better source without a history of exploitation.

    • cameronbae   @carachen i agree with your reply but not the original comment. making a white character poc will never, ever be comparable to whitewashing a character.

    • wefoundwonderland   @tree5002 its not racism - ariel's character in the animation was DESIGNED to be white skinned. thats why we're looking for someone with white skin, it has nothing to do with racism - i wouldn't want a white girl to play as Tiana for example, because Tiana was designed with black skin! Thats all!

    • maddoxcox   @wefoundwonderland The SJW cult would flip their lid if they have a live action remake of P&TF with a white Tiana, even though the original book has her as a white woman.

  • smeehee9916 I'd be more interested to know why people are casting AND upvoting 30+ year olds to play a 16 year old

    • sethzarandona   @jchrist98 Touch grass. It's a f-ing mermaid. A MERMAID. A mythical creature. A person with a fish tail who swims in the damn ocean. Her skin color is not a factor in the story. Get over yourself.

    • clownprinceofcasting   @wefoundwonderland ok, yes but nothing about Ariel's character in the OG says her character has to be white. Because Tiana was written to be a powerful hardworking black woman, thats why we dont want her to be played by a white actress

    • sethzarandona   @wefoundwonderland To scream bloody murder as much as y'all have been, while ignoring the countless documented cases of whitewashing - including recent cases - that SI racism. And Tiana being black impacts the story. Ariel being white doesn't. But you know this. You're just trying to cover up your racism. It's not working.
