The actor Peter Dinklage said he was stunned to learn that Disney was doing a live-action remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” It is a "backward story of seven dwarfs living in a cave together," he said. https://t.co/gpOQA7XyAL pic.twitter.com/MrRwBRblWd

The film Mexican Snow White should really be called “Vomit Brown.”
I mean the whole thing is literally “who’s the fairest one of all?”
The original film was made when it was not politically incorrect to associate “light skin” with “beauty” (as it still isn’t in most parts of the world, including the African American “community”).
But this nigga thinks dwarfs are oppressed.
I didn’t even know dwarfs were a grievance group. Frankly, it kinda makes sense.
RT:
Disney cast Rachel Zegler to star as the titular character in the upcoming live action remake of the classic 1938 animation ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’, opposite Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen.
The studio’s touting of representation as a selling point of the feature film, however, appeared hypocritical to Peter Dinklage.
“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White – but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the actor told Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.
Rachel Zegler, the fairest of them all.
“You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f**king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together? What the f**k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough,” he said.
No, it’s just that you’re short, so people don’t pay attention to you.
In particular, women, who make all of these decisions, do not pay attention to you. Because you’re short.
Disney responded to the observation, promising not to make the dwarfs in the upcoming film stereotypical like in the original.
“We are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” a spokesman for the company told the Hollywood Reporter. “We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period.”
The ironic part is that Peter Dinklage actually lives in a cave with six other dwarfs.
It’s just dumb.
Don’t worry about it.
Snow African American then?

Man, great actor, but he’s been annoying af lately. Shrugging off GOT criticism as fans just not wanting the show to end (total BS) and now upset over a fantasy story?
