frozen misrepresentation

[Nabber]

...am I missing something, or what? Because that tumblr does not contain any post discussing the racial problems with this movie??

anyway, i've always admitted that frozen has flaws. the whitewashing of it is one of the major ones. but while that is a problem, it's done in pretty much every other movie. that's not an excuse, but with all of the things that frozen does right, i feel that by comparison it is a good movie

I don't think the whitewashing is that bad. Aren't human populations in like Denmark less diverse than the US?

I think BMB just decided to expand upon Shaq not being in any frames.

because tHERE'S NO REPRESENTATION OF OTHER RACES

okay first of all, Denmark did have black people in it, even if it wasn't too many

second of all, whitewashing leads to movies like this where we have white people playing egyptians[/url] because god forbid any other race besides the whites can be in a movie

Maybe today, but I don't think in the time frame this was supposed to be aired in has much as today. I dunno, I'm not a historian, so I don't know if there are other non-white people living in that time frame in Denmark.

But your example is actually just plain stupid. I don't mean your post, I meant the movie is stupid.

Re: disney misrepresentation

i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that there were black people in denmark at the time

besides, you can see black people in the background at one scene, so Disney acknowledged their existence in the setting; they just didn't get any characters

Re: disney misrepresentation

I don't see why they should force racial diversity in a story that's supposed to be based off a fairy tale. If they're going for being representative of the historical setting, then they should implement racial diversity. Otherwise, getting worked up over ethnicity in these movies is a bit over analyzing.

Races haven't even crossed my mind throughout the entire movie.

Exactly. Because your mind has been programmed by media to not care if the only people in a movie are white. But news flash, Disney made up pretty much the whole movie, which also means that they had every opportunity to include persons of color. Plus, as I've pointed out, they did have PoC's in the background, which means it was a deliberate move to not give any of them a speaking role. And by the way? There isn't really a concrete time period established in the movie, either.

Re: disney misrepresentation

im more curious as to why it matters

its not like disney is going for accuracy here

Re: disney misrepresentation

because people other than whites should be able to have a role in movies...?

and because, quite simply, it perpetuates racisim...?

Re: disney misrepresentation

I get racial diversity and stuff, but I don't think they should be including a person of a different race JUST TO INCLUDE A PERSON OF A DIFFERENCE RACE.

Really, I don't think it matters in this day in age.

The character's personality's are what matter. I don't care if they're all white, black, a mix, or whatever.
