I was around 8 years old and a blue belt. so not only could I perform flashy moves, but I was in the best physical shape in my class, the 2nd fastest kid in school, and other athletic advantages you could expect from an 8 year old blue belt in TKD over the average kid. but there were always a couple fat White kids who objected and kept trying to make me be Zack. he was my 2nd fave, but he was assigned to another buddy lol. they were like "Tommy isn't Mexican." literally my skin was going to be the qualifier, lol. every other qualifications fell further back in priority. I guess that's why I was already used to people over emphasising race before I was even an adult. --- Never let those intent on misunderstanding you be the narrator to YOUR story! Context? Context!?

It's as if the only thing that matters about her is that she's black. I only heard good things about her, and it seems she has a beautiful singing voice. What if she ends up delivering an amazing performance? Are people just going to ignore it because of her race? I'm willing to bet a lot of people who are pissed off about her being in the movie may just end up loving it once it comes out and then come back and deny they were ever against her being in the role. Hopefully. People pissed and moaned for months about Beauty and the Beast having a gay character and when the movie came out nobody cared anymore. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:924264851] in Disney is ...

They all looked different from each other. Why is skin color so important to the racists on this board? I know it's because they're racist, but I thought I'd ask. When has there ever been a black Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker? Miles Morales was Marvels way of having a black kid be Spider-Man without changing the race of Peter Parker. Id welcome Miles Morales being Spider-Man in a movie, but Id be offended if they cast the actor that should be Miles Morales but called the character Peter Parker instead. My point is that there are countless physical attributes, and skin color is not inherently more important than any of them. I don't know enough about Batman to know if race plays a major role in his universe and thusly shaped who he is, but I know damn well skin color is no more important in the Little Mermaid universe than the difference between Keaton and Kilmer's chin height is in the Batman universe. Cant a white character just be white and stay white without it having to be an important defining aspect about themselves? yep, which is the case of 95% of white people in cinema. they usually aren't called out for being white, and they just go about their lives as characters without people needing to bring it up. Unless it's relevant to the story. Ideally, this would happen for all races, including here. <cite>Fam_Fam posted [p:924270562] in Disney is ...
