Funny how Disney had qualms in casting a very fair-skinned chinese actress to play Mulan. She's way lighter than the average chinese person.
Disney are culturally retarded (when it comes to IdPol). Let's be honest here. And I say this as a passholder.

Does she bleach her skin? I know a lot of Chinese on the mainland bleach their skin to get "fairer" skin tones. When their natural brown/tanned skin is fine as is. Michelle Yeoh is still breathtaking!

This essay boils down to the same "accuracy matters but accuracy doesn't matter" defense you've been relying on.
Oh, except for calling me a pedant simply because I can spot hypocrisy when I see it.
Also I thought you were done with this conversation (when you said how it was won/lost). Yet here you are leaping in again when you think you've got some masterful 'gotcha'.
Do you have any logical consistency at all?

Bad fan art that doesn't follow proportions. Sexualizing PKMN girls is wrong.I want you to tell me how the following images make you feel.
The dude is just as bad. I mean LOOK at his haircut. I bet he is a dick.

Hahahahaha.
Honestly was pretty happy to see this casting choice because I knew it would provide some light Internet Entertainment as I laugh at the various bad takes.
As usual, you are the one who provides.
Here you are with your big balls swinging "people who are actually upset about this need to get a grip".
Yeah man, those damn "snowflakes" who get upset over a dumb kids movie right? People need to just learn to shrug things off and get on with their lives right?
It's kind of pathetic to throw a public hissy fit over something so mundane and meaningless right?
*Someone makes a joke*
OMG THIS IS AGAINST THE RULES! MODS! MODS! He said the naughty word!
Well, he didn't ACTUALLY say the naughty word and it WAS a joke but MODS PLEASE RESPOND!
The naughty word was hinted at in a joke! I'm melting! I'm melting! MOOOOOOOOODS!
Dude, you had a brilliant opportunity to dunk on people here because who really gives a damn about the race of an actor in a movie.
You could have made the point that a, say, Japanese version of The Little Mermaid would probably cast a Japanese Ariel so it actually does make sense that an American version would not necessarily need to cast a white person in the role.
This was an easy open goal for you to get one over on folks you obviously despise but instead you fell flat on your fucking face again.
Jesus, it was a fucking joke. Get a grip.

You've provided one clear example, but this thread is full of them. Including Disney themselves.

TBH I didn't find McGinger's obvious reference to the N-word funny either. It didn't add much to the conversation to be frank. @Nobody_Important is 100% right in this case.
Like there's fun and jokes and all that, but that word just isn't something to joke about IMO. Not when a disgusting word like that, still has such power behind it.

Wait a minute mate! Are we forgetting that the Little Mermaid was created by a Danish author and the character is a big Danish icon? LM is just as much Danish as Belle is French.

No, but I am understanding that being "Danish" is a categorization of human, not a humanoid sea creature.Wait a minute mate! Are we forgetting that the Little Mermaid was created by a Danish author and the character is a big Danish icon? LM is just as much Danish as Belle is French.

He was clearly black, just like all the black jews you see running around everywhere.

Why you so hung up on the "humanoid sea creature" I mean you know the tale, she grows legs, and walks on land etc. she becomes "cultured" so to speak, she becomes just like one of the humans.. It's not like she's a Terminator, designed by Skynet.. thus she can take any shape or form.... She has some cultural ties to the native country of the fairy tale's author. C'mon mang!

Everything can be something to joke about. And that word only has the power that you give it.

My family and I call each other the N word every day, the entire black community uses it to refer to each other and other races in a derogatory fashion, there's whole tv shows where the N word gets used all the time. Hell I have to catch myself on this board sometimes to keep from letting it slip. That's how integrated it has been in the black community, even though it's a pretty ugly word.
There's no need to be so fragile about this on behalf of black people. We joke about it all the fucking time, McCheese didn't say the word, and it was a pretty clever joke. From what I understand, McCheese is black. I don't get the outrage. The word has no more power than what you give it.

You keep getting yourself into stupid arguments, like the Smollet and the red hat kid where you were obviously just wrong.

Guys you're arguing about a movie from Rob Marshall who last did the mediocore Mary Poppins. It's not worth the time. xD

I disagree. Humor, with limits, is not humor. If you draw the line with something like this you have to draw the line with several other things. Like what happened with Isaac Hayes in South Park. And the joke was funny as hell.
