[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t commented but have seen it come up in headlines today. 
1) I’m down with whoever. But I want a redhead! Is that too much to ask?
2) this girl... isn’t cute. Really odd looking. *im* odd looking! But I’m also not going to be cast as Ariel.

And I don’t have red hair. Which again... is important to the story![/quote]

Ariel’s  color red does not exist in nature.  Hair dye, or a wig, or CGI will probably be used no matter who the actress is.  Also, Aborigines have dark skin and red hair.  So tell me, what does this actress not having red hair have to do with anything?[/quote]

Again:  you’re ok with a character of color being portrayed by a Caucasian?  Sure hope so. Otherwise we’d have to call you a hypocrite.

White people are OVERREPRESENTED in entertainment, politics, education... literally every single sphere of life. So yes it’s fine to sub in a marginalized person for a role that would be YET ANOTHER white character but not okay to TAKE a rare role for a marginalized person and give it to YET ANOTHER white person to become one more in a sea of roles validating white people whole excluding marginalized peoples.

Get it???[/quote]
This.  It’s like when white people complain about black history month because “there’s no white history month.”[/quote]
