Did you even read your own article? He's not "attacking" a Latina Snow White. He's pointing out the hypocrisy of being progressive and inclusive with one part of the story but not another.

I get that but there is no reason to point it out. The two dont go hand in hand. This notion that they only cast a Latina actress because of her race and to be progressive is just as bad a thing to perpetuate. Is it not possible that she got the role in her own merits? He can be upset about dwarfs without saying anything about the actress. If hed be fine with dwarfs as long as the lead was white because then at least it wouldnt be just half progressive then hes wrong.

I get his point, I disagree with his idea. We need to stop acting like a Latina getting this role is just because theyre trying to be progressive. Its worth noting because this is new for the industry. Breaking down walls and allowing anyone to play any role regardless of their race is a good thing that needs to be normalized. (The fact that there will be people questioning a Latina Snow White [as someone itt already did] means we arent quite there yet). But a Latina playing Snow White is not the same as deciding not to cast little people.
