Should Have Swapped Angourie Rice and Avantika's Roles


I love the casting of curvy blonde Renee Rapp as rich blonde bitch, Regina George, but it's a shame the filmmakers didn't take the opportunity to cast a WOC as Cady, and instead cast a WOC as the bimbo, Karen Smith.

What's the fucking point of 'diversity' and 'wokism', if Black and minority women are going to be reduced to bimbo roles, and we're going to keep simping for the precious fucking white girl?!? 🤷🏿‍♂️

Black and minority women can't afford to be bimbos. Black and minority women have to BE SMART and ACCOMPLISHED to survive in a world that would otherwise eat them alive, on account of their marginalisation as WOC. ONLY WHITE WOMEN can afford to be airheads, but, alas, the irony is that because PRIVILEGED WHITE ARYAN women are the ones with ALL the power in modern culture, no-one dare make them look bad. So, everyone else, whether they be Black, trans, gay, Jewish, Hispanic, Muslim, trans, and blue-collar male, has to look bad whilst we keep SIMPING for the BLONDE PRINCESSES on their fucking PEDESTALS. 😠

This film is pretty diverse already. Just look at the old (2004) film. I'm pretty sure Mean Girls (2024) has representation of all type of people (except for white males).

I was surprised at that too. I mean it is kind of "courageous" to cast a black girl as a dumb girl in a PC world, and I don't know if it was overacting or she was instructed that way, she acted more like retarded.

Is that the inner white-girlness of the 2 white female writers, or the white female director?

I know it is kind of shocking that white females can be racists too.
