quote:

The costume is based on Disney's animated depiction of Maui, a key figure in Polynesian oral tradition. It featured full-length brown trousers and a long-sleeved shirt covered in "tattoos," as well as a "skirt" made of leaves.


quote:

Chelsie Haunani Fairchild, who described herself as Polynesian and a native Hawaiian, said the costume was an example of cultural appropriation. It was wrong to sell a costume that allowed children to pretend to be another race, she said.


Really? So now only white kids can wear a Snow White costume since she was white?

No silly. Only white people can be racist. Reference black Annie for an example.

Can we just go ahead and make everything racist and get it the frick over with? Take these SJW frickers' power of false engagement away. Just label it all racist, tell them it won't change and to get the frick over it... or don't...

If people and organizations would stop giving in to these dumb asses, this wouldn't be an issue.

to be fair...they aren't claiming racism, they are claiming "cultural appropriation"

which equally absurd, but let's keep their absurd criticisms factual

When a black guy wears a PFG and Sperrys I take that as cultural appropriation

Since when does a Snow White costume come with sleeves that make you look white?

Well then, they should stop using things like electricity and computers and plastic the combustion engine since evil white Devils invented them.

Good point. Only white people can Culturally Appropriate. Reference Black Annie, possibly the next James Bond and the black guys dressing up as white girls for reference. All examples absolutely OK with everyone but all hell would break loose if a white actor did a part as a black guy.*

*Robert Downey Jr. somehow got a pass in Tropic Thunder which I am still surprised by.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if they don't have some representation then they are being excluded and that is WRONG. If they DO then that is a different offense?

Help me find some ground for a solution...

WTF? Should they make the Polynesian white or even albino instead?

SJW strike again and of course Disney responds like a cuck to a minority complaint.

There is nothing Disney can do. It's offensive if they sell it, it's offensive if they don't.

Apparently "marginalized" groups must always be offended because it's the only way they feel they can stay relevant.
