1. I just thought your example of Jesus is kind a weak. 2. I don't contend anything. |
As a reminder, you said "I will say this, accounting for the examples of whitewashing you provided, correcting my initial comment: it can be done. But surely not to a character on the level Ariel." Bearing that in mind...
1. Turns out whitewashing has occurred to characters of such historical/cultural significance that geopolitics were shaped for centuries as a result (obviously a weak example /s), whereas Ariel is just a character in a children's fantasy story and does not even come close to that level of importance.
As a reminder, you also said "My second major point would be this: I don't care much about whitewashing or changing races otherwise. I care about selective outrage. About double standards."
2. Then you provided an example that you do not even contend was race-switched at all. I told you that your response would be evaluated with your second major point in mind. It has not gone unnoticed that you've made plenty of excuses for whitewashing of characters even on a scale far, far above that of, well, all Disney princesses combined, but thought it necessary to air your opinions about casting a black lady to portray one of them.
It appears that you do not care about double standards quite as much as you claim. I cannot speculate what conclusions readers will make when pondering what it is that you really care about, but I did warn you that you would be evaluated based on your response.
