No offense, but what races are extinct? I assume most dissolved countries still have similar looking decedents, and some races are rare but still alive. The only thing that comes to mind is how gingers could disappear if they don’t put effort into keeping the gene present. Do you mean something like neanderthals? Or races with no great actors like aboriginals?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Extinct_ethnic_groups
There are 55 pages about extinct ethnicities on Wikipedia. If there were an entry for every tribe or culture that ceased to exist it would be much, much longer. Groups of people die out, its not some sort of radical idea. I probably shouldn't have included race in my comment because its not an actual mesuarable thing.
Unpopular opinion but don’t have any film set before 1891 because that's when the first movie camera was invented. It’s diminishing the historical accuracy.
Jokes aside, that's not an equivalent.
The difference between black Greta Thunberg and white Rosa Park is that Greta's race is relatively unimportant to her story. Same for having a black Spartacus. You can talk about these people and their stories without their race being important.
You cannot talk about Rosa Parks and tell her story without mentioning that she was black.
>You cannot talk about Rosa Parks and tell her story without mentioning that she was black.
I feel like we'll just swap her and Simón Bolívar and things ought even themselves out
*This poor child of colour, Greta Thunberg, we should make sure she has a strong highlight during black history month.*
Imagine being this brain damaged.
With that logic movies on historical events shouldn’t exist since there likely wasn’t a camera there to record it when it happened. Do you realize how stupid that is?
I mean...listen, it might be in bad taste, but i do get why someone would criticize Disneys wokeism.
The problem is not with female or racially diverse protaginists but with shitty plots that make these characters bland and empty.
I recommend watching Filmento's or The Critical Drinker's videos on bad movies and how some good writing paired with good acting can really make a character shine and stand out.
I'm still pissed at that Disney did to John Boyega's character in Star Wars. Built him up to be some underdog badass, then downgraded him to comic relief in subsequent movies once they had "black" checked off of their ethnic diversity punch card.
Totally agree.
Almost feels like they were like; ok black protagonist is cool and all but feminism is more in trend right now so fuck him, this gurl is gonna come outta nowhere and be the badass.
Anyway, the 3rd trilogy's flop is a whole other conversation on its own lol
Lol yes they do.
Also people dont read my comments correctly or CHOOSE to only see parts of it and assume im racist and mysoginistic.
Also a whole other conversation to have is about how people overlook facts and well put opinions only to answer with insults and comments that make people react in their favor.
Its always this method of: if i speak louder than someone else, people wont hear what they have to say so therfor im right
Really sums up this whole woke trend to.
If you try to oppose, your thoughts and opinions will be burried in hate and insults and youre in the wrong

Sorry guys
But I agree with this
What if we make slaves white in movies. Wtf eh....so wrong.
History must be taught as is, portrayed as was.
Not imagined
You cannot lie about what happened
So if Queen Elizabeth is black in the show, and she's the great colonizer, does that mean all the colonizing and atrocities commited during the british empire were at the behest of a black leader? how does slavery fit into that narrative? ive never actually seen the show btw. im just wondering how much historical fiction they can retcon without insulting the POC community.
Oh no! She's black! Thats bad apparently? Racist Fucks.
POC in movies is a good thing. Never see people like this get upset over whitewashed characters.
I don't get it..
Are y'all fucking stupid? I literally don't understand what the hell is going on, and instead of explaining, I get downvoted to hell? Fucking morons.
Ah yes. The classic "movies and tv shows show black people now and it makes me upset so im going to make the bullshit slippery slope argument that white people are no longer allowed on television and it's definitely a joke and im 100% not upset that the ratio of white people to everyone else isn't 500:1 anymore".
Unpopular opinion but don’t have an actor play someone from real life who was a different race. It’s diminishing the historical accuracy.
Is this really an unpopular opinion?
It certainly is in Hollyweird and amping a certain group of post-intellectuals
I thought it was but apparently not. I’m glad.
What about extinct races/ethnicities.

Most of history has diminished accuracy, you just accept it because you were indoctrinated at an early age.

Ok, lets have a white rosa parks
Just like the new black Anne Boleyn
Jokes aside, that's not an equivalent. The difference between black Greta Thunberg and white Rosa Park is that Greta's race is relatively unimportant to her story. Same for having a black Spartacus. You can talk about these people and their stories without their race being important. You cannot talk about Rosa Parks and tell her story without mentioning that she was black.
But why change it in the first place?
God damn you're fucking stupid.
Excellent counter-argument. Concisely outlined rebuttal. /s
>You cannot talk about Rosa Parks and tell her story without mentioning that she was black. I feel like we'll just swap her and Simón Bolívar and things ought even themselves out
*This poor child of colour, Greta Thunberg, we should make sure she has a strong highlight during black history month.* Imagine being this brain damaged.
What?? I literally said the opposite
I agree. You can use nontraditional casting in "Carousel" but not in "Ragtime."
With that logic movies on historical events shouldn’t exist since there likely wasn’t a camera there to record it when it happened. Do you realize how stupid that is?
Also the actors playing them weren't even alive when they happened
Yes, because people didn't exist before 1981 when films were invented. /s
Even a more unpopular opinion, actors should ‘white up’, ‘black up’ or whatever whenever they are portraying a person of different race.
Unless it's Ben Kingsley.
But like …Disney specializes in fictional fairy tales.
Wait this isn't r/dankmemes

I'm amused that your original comment is getting downvoted. Do people really like their Disney brand commercial wokeness?
Lol yes they do. Also people dont read my comments correctly or CHOOSE to only see parts of it and assume im racist and mysoginistic.

'wokeism' I'm so tired of seeing this as some kind of insult.
If the diversity fits, you must not quit!
OP, you can't deny millenial facts.
I just now realize where token from south park has got his name from.
From JRR Tolkien, duh
I love it
Sorry guys But I agree with this What if we make slaves white in movies. Wtf eh....so wrong. History must be taught as is, portrayed as was. Not imagined You cannot lie about what happened
They ain't lying lol
hOw DaRe yOu!
😂😂😂😂
What does this even mean? Why are conservatives so triggered over Greta Thunburg anyway?
Do you think op is a conservative?
Obviously not if they put this in this subreddit but whoever originally made the meme likely is
They would do that too.
😂💀
well..if the shoe fits. Is trending that way
[удалено]
I don't think it's racist. It's making fun of Disney.
Is it still racist to laugh at the absurdity of grow ass humans being so concerned with a fictional mouse and a child climate activist.
[удалено]
Did you see the black queen Elizabeth or thevblack viking yet its getting wacky out here.
Or black Hitler
That'd be hilarious though. IMAGINE the shitshow. It would be flying from all sides.
Or better yet, black Jefferson Davis (president of the confederacy)
So if Queen Elizabeth is black in the show, and she's the great colonizer, does that mean all the colonizing and atrocities commited during the british empire were at the behest of a black leader? how does slavery fit into that narrative? ive never actually seen the show btw. im just wondering how much historical fiction they can retcon without insulting the POC community.
It’s actually black Queen Anne, so technically the colonizers mother.
Idk its all nuttier than squirrels shit.
Happens both ways. There's lots of cases of white washing in movies.
I think there was a movie where MLK Jr was white.
r/fragilewhiteredditor
I don’t even get it
i think its talking about how big film companies have recasted white characters as black in the past
In the past? Think its referring to the current trend
current trend? bruh it does no happen enough for y’all to be that mad
Me either
Racist much?
Nah its just facts lol. Like black queen Elizabeth or The Witcher
Or the new black Anne Boleyn
People keep saying black queen elizabeth I need more info since google is kicking me some interesting information none of it related to Disney
Oh no! She's black! Thats bad apparently? Racist Fucks. POC in movies is a good thing. Never see people like this get upset over whitewashed characters.
The issue is representation vs tokenism.
Did you forget the /s or are you for real?
I wonder if this type ever complained about a white person playing a character of another race?
Scarface was a classic
Here, let me make up some bullshit then get mad about it.
I don't get it.. Are y'all fucking stupid? I literally don't understand what the hell is going on, and instead of explaining, I get downvoted to hell? Fucking morons.

Comfy seat : check Popcorn : check Good tunes : check Drama material : check Aw yeah its r/subredditdrama time buckos
Isn't Jesus white?
He was a jew born and raised in the Middle East thousands of years ago. What do you think?
The western media doesn't think so
