Selective rage

Show me a tale from another country where they put in a white person. The little Mermaid is a Danish tale.

Can I choose to be mad about all of them?

Consistency is good, provided the reason for being mad is valid.
- I’m mad that billionaires have used identity politics to stop taxing the rich, I’m mad that center left parties are only able to talk about identity pol & handouts, without taxing the rich, I’m mad that time and time again the means of production is shackled, I’m mad that people keep falling for right wing trickle down economics.

The bald Monk lady wasn’t particularly popular as a casting choice IIRC and this implies that Romani people can’t have a pale complexion which isn’t true at all.

I don't know this one but it looks like the bald monk lady was supposed to be Tibetan, not Romani? She's definitely not Tibetan.
- She's a recast of an Orientalist character because they decided that was less problematic than the Orientalism
  But they still did the rest of the Orientalism and Wong was the best part of the movie so...
- I mentioned two separate characters in my comment, the Tibetan monk first, and the second being the Romani character. I’m not sure how that was unclear.

I saw something that it only works if the character was in a book that hasn't had a movie adaptation yet. In the Shawshank Redemption, "Red" was originally a white irishman. But because bigots don't read books, it didn't upset anyone when Morgan Freeman played him.

You know I don't care but it ever only happens one way. If they just choose the best person for the role there should be some white people who are best. And I don't mean these from comic books. I mean fables and tales like the little mermaid is a white or black Mulan a none polynesian Muai. Or how about race switching a real person like an Asian playing Roasa Parks. Since they did get a black woman to play Anne Boleyn who was a real person.
And if we want to represent more diverse people in the film industry whey retell the same stories, it seems kind of odd to just swap a character and say diversity. Why not tell some of their stories.
I love that they throw in the “because I’m Irish” in the movie.

Uhh, off the top of my head, Nick Fury was white, but Jackson was awesome, and no one wants anyone else to have that role. kingpins is white but Michael Clarke Duncan fucking rocked that shit. Heimdell was Idris Elba, and he was awesome in that part. Zendaya, as mj was the best mj so far. I'm sure there's more, so maybe stop rage baiting...

Zendaya is overrated
Isn't the point of this meme to mock the people who are enraged?
- Some kind of selective rage even
Actually Nick fury was black in ultimate universe before the movies and drawn to look like Sam Jackson on purpose
Rage bait is the life blood of social media.... I should go read a book
- I'd say he was a good part of a blase movie. I don't know about "rock[ing] it," because we saw such a good performance in the daredevil tv show that the white painting is just etched in my mind forever.

In case anyone else was wondering...

Tonto
Ra's al Ghul
The Ancient One
Scarlet Witch
The Little Mermaid

Yeah, has anyone considered that people simply weren't familiar with the source material for the rest of these?

Role. Actor.

It really do be like that.

A lot. No seriously like an alarming amount of "a lot"

As I said before:

They hate live action Ariel because she's "ugly."

And that is so much worse. Especially when people see nothing wrong with that statement.

Imagine being so vain that you get angry that a movie role is played by someone that you think is ugly.
How pathetic.
I'm not sure if that's worse than being a racist piece of shit about it, but it can't be far behind.
- Well that's just it; it's tied up in racism. They're calling Ariel ugly because she's an African American woman.
  I mean... I'm fine with people complaining about actors not fitting roles, but that's not the case here.

Imagine getting mad because a black girl played a mermaid in a Disney movie.
