The books went into great detail about individual characters but they didn't definitively delineate "race" other than human, dwarf, elf, etc.

Don't care about color of their skin. It's woke agenda pushing. Don't piggy back off the title if you're going to bastardize the lore. |

Black Panther is the king of an interior African nation. The title has been passed down from son-to-son for the last thousand years. Being black is central to Black Panther's character. |

I saw a Frozen show at WDW. Kristoff was black. A black guy in 1700s Norway. Doesn't make any sense unless you plagued by white guilt ![]() |

Don't get me wrong - I would prefer not to see agendas blatantly pushed by Hollywood. I don't want it rammed down my throat. But in this instance, it seems to be much to do about nothing. Tolkien didn't say all humans were white or that elves couldn't be gay. He simply didn't mention it, so the argument that it "destroys immersion" just doesn't fly. |

So now we're going to talk about historical accuracy in FROZEN? Really?

Seriously, I get that people don't like having shit thrust upon them 24x7 when they don't agree with it but this argument has completely jumped the shark. |

The problem is that these arguments are counterproductive. If you really want to see less "agenda" in film and TV, digging in your heels and arguing about it only produces the same behavior in your opponents. Making it so black and white (pardon the unintended pun) just makes everybody more resolute in their stance, unwilling to compromise.

And LOL at getting butthurt over seeing a black guy play Kristoff in a play at Disney World. This is just a case of you seeing what you want to see and ignoring what you don't to fit the narrative. Whitewashing in film has been a thing for-****ing-ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...o-wasnt-white/ They've been casting white people in roles of fictional and even real-life minorities for the last 100 years. |
