The midget from GoT is coming after Snow White: "A fricking backwards story about dwarfs"

Apparently Disney's live action remake is not going to be woke enough for him:

Not everyone is too thrilled with idea of remaking “Snow White,” most notably Peter Dinklage. The Emmy winner guested on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast this week and criticized remaking “Snow White” due to the fairytale’s “fricking backwards” depiction of dwarfs.
“There’s a lot of hypocrisy going on,” Dinklage said. “Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. But you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’ Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me.”
Dinklage continued, “You’re progressive in one way but then you’re still making that fricking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the frick are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soap box? I guess I’m not loud enough. I don’t know which studio that is but they were so proud of it. All love and respect to the actress and all the people who thought they were doing the right thing. But I’m just like, what are you doing?”

Will Dewey Cox be performing his midget rights song in support of this?

This! Also I thought the Dink was self deprecating and ok with humor of dwarfism etc?

At any point in his rambling, did he describe what should have been done instead?
What if they replaced dwarves with regular men. Would it then not be woke enough because they denied opportunity for legally declared midget actors?

Do they actually have plans to cast little people as the dwarves? Bc to me the dwarves don’t represent them, they’re more like garden gnomes.
Should they instead do what Elf did and use regularly sized people and camera tricks to make them look small? I just don’t get the outrage.
The funnier thing is that they’re even touching Snow White. It’s called Snow White and the main quote is “Who’s the fairest of them all?” But they slap a Latina actress on there and call it wrong-righted.

Curious if they'd be OK casting a white actress as Tiana(?) in a live action version of the Princess and the Frog.

My takeaway from this is just how rediculous woke is. Its a black hole that even the Wokest of woke will eventually fall into.

Honestly.. dinklage is probably the only dwarf/little person I've ever seen in a serious role. (Correction) Him and the lil guy from the harry potter movies, who played a teacher.
All other shorties I've seen in movies or on tv..are given comedy shtick roles.
