Tiny Man is Big Mad about Snow White and the Ghetto Dwarves of Twerkville

CBC:

Walt Disney Co. says it is “taking a different approach” for its upcoming live-action remake of animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, following criticism from actor Peter Dinklage.

In an interview on comedian Marc Maron’s podcast WTF on Monday, Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, said the casting of an actress of Colombian descent in the titular role was “progressive” but called the story, based on the 19th-century fairytale, “backward.”

“Literally no offence to anything, but I was a little taken aback…. They were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White — but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the Game of Thrones and Cyrano actor said.

“Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me…. Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

I dunno. That actress is actually pretty cute. She’s also very White. (((Hollywood))) and others like to do this thing where White People who speak Spanish are suddenly “diverse.” I’m not even sure this broad has any Indio in her. If you told me she was Mediterranean I wouldn’t blink an eye.

I was expecting a sub-saharan bush woman.

The remake of Disney’s 1937 animated film, in which seven dwarf miners take in a princess after she is exiled by her wicked stepmother, stars West Side Story actress Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Israeli actress Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

Casting jewesses as evil villains? Fucking based.

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to industry publication The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.

You ever notice how when they’re talking about some privileged group they say “community?” It’s not just dwarves, it’s the “dwarfism community.”
