I thought conservatives didn't see race.


Except when minorities have a prominent role. Then race is all you people point out. Funny how that works.

Explain why your fellow Liberals/Democrats attacked the Lilo & Stitch casting even though they hired native Hawaiians? Funny how you leftists obsess about race and claim your tolerant then go on racist rants because something doesn't support your narrative and then preach how you're the better side.

I saw The Little Mermaid in 1989.
It was great. No interest in seeing politicized reboots I am good. I didn't see the new Planet of the Apes, Footloose, Total Recall, Ghostbusters....once a classic has been made I am not seeing the reboots. Make up brand new stores. Quit rebooting every old film.

To your point....if different races were cast because no one saw race and parts were given ONLY based on merit I wouldn't care. Since I know these film studios are obsessed with race and are obsessed with placing roles just to fill race slots then you can count me out of their warped agendas.

Who told you that nonsense?

That isn’t a conservative saying, that is something white women say to appear more woke.

They don't see race they see lame virtue signaling.

We USED to be able to watch movies without seeing race before Democrat Party activists who only watch movies to count the number of boxes checked hijacked Hollywood.

They don't want to admit, but they want white affirmative action. Halle Bailey did amazing and her performance was critically acclaimed. Yet you still have conservatives saying she wasn't supposed to be picked and they should've picked someone white, but less talented instead soley because of their skin color.

It's extremely telling that they didn't even give her a chance and wrote Halle off as a "diversity hire"

Minorities have complained for decades whenever a white actor played a minority character. Funny how that works.

Significant characteristics are immutable and should never change regardless of sex, race, hair color, height, weight, personality, ethnicity, nationality - including historical films.

"Minorities have complained for decades whenever a white actor played a minority character."

If you don't see why that's a problem, you're a lost cause.

"including historical films."

Yeah, I remember being taught about the ginger mermaid in my history classes.
