Everywhere i look on SW i see people crying about rainbows being taken over by lgbt and a mermaid being black

If you have a problem with either of these things you carry far too much hate in your heart.

Go out and hug a tree

Name calling, because you’re wrong? Nice

I know, but you insist upon it.

It's a fictional character whose race isn't a pivotal point of reference in the movie. Just so pedantic and weird to get caught up in this.

There's been several renditions of Cinderella. Did anyone make this big of a deal when Brandy, a black woman, played Cinderella in 1997? And the Prince being played by a Filipino? Even the most recent Cinderella movie she was played by a Latino, no one cared.

If there was outcry back in 1997, congrats we haven't evolved. If there wasn't, congrats we've regressed.

@SW-User representation is so important .... i didnt realise how much until i saw how my own kids reacted to encanto and miss marvel

SW-User

@InOtterWords about time too

@InOtterWords miss marvel made me feel like a kid too lmao. The first time I've seen someone I can relate to on mainstream media.

@SW-User religion is not the same as race it is a very different discussion. I am well aware that not all Christians are white and can recite the Lord's prayer in 3 different languages.

I asked you about the colour of god because the discussion was about Triton being white. I went on to discuss the personification of god. I then mentioned the white-washing of europe becsuse if you have an open mind and are wling to learn about history you will see how early christianity destroyed the classical world and built on the white is good/black is evil trope. It is not about being woke but about learning.

This is the article about the white-washing of european art.

I still fail to see how my discussing of christianity makes me racist?

@InOtterWords No. I merely pointed out Triton was in the Disney film.

Am I? I thought I was responding to your claims on Christianity and the terrible crimes of white people

Also i am aware of the difference between missionaries and colonisation and if i had meant colonisation i would have said it.

Also you

Also who took Christianity to African countries?..... white missionaries [quote]

What was the point you were trying to make then if you weren't making a racist slur?

InOtterWords · F

@SW-User
Not terrible crimes of white people... terrible crimes of Christianity. I have a huge disdain for all religions that were used to gain power over people .... that is not racism

SW-User

@InOtterWords well, I must say I've learnt a lot in this conversation
So thank you 🙂

King Triton had seven daughters in seven seas. That means it could be any color.

And it is fish, doesn't have the same races as humans. People are insane to be obsessing over this but I am not surprised.

Both of those in that interaction have been known to get all racist two years ago. I was actually blocked for arguing that racism exists in the justice system.

InOtterWords · F

@Miram but even for those going to the classics.... he was Libyan

It is dreadful how people are arguing based on where the author is from or where a made up mythical character is from to justify their racism

They merely corrected a mistake in the cartoon. 🤷

Reject · 26-30, M

I’m not too keen on either side of this because both are pushing race which just doesn’t matter to me.

Elessar · 26-30, M

It's just one addition to a long series..

Straylight · 31-35, F

@Elessar I’m almost afraid to ask, but yeti?

@Elessar Oh, I thought they were talking about Bigfoot. 😂

FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M

I don't care if a mermaid is black or a lesbian. I'm only upset that a mermaid has a tail.

InOtterWords · F

@FeetAreFantastic what she gave up to have toes

SW-User

Oh my, that is some sensible talk 🥴

"hug a tree"...and you've got 24 seemingly positive reactions 😂

Why is stupidity so celebrated now?

@InOtterWords early Christians predominately weren't white. That you've completely bought into that racist narrative makes you a racist

InOtterWords · F

@SW-User come on... where have i said anything about early christianity.
I even said to you Jesus was probably more akin to an Arab 🙄

But there is no remaining art from the early days of christianity....because of they way Christianity spread across Europe and across the world and how they personified Jesus and Mary and God and the disciples in art. As i backed up with the books and articles.

I think maybe you feel unable to address the logical points i have made and so are reacting by calling me racist.

SW-User

@InOtterWords I'm sorry I misinterpreted you. I thought you were talking about the destruction of Greek and Roman antiquities that were non - Christian

Ooooooooops

Oh wow. Well, I owe you an apology!

I am unaware of that history. I thought varied depictions of Jesus were alive and well, I've certainly seen many depictions of a very dark skinned Jesus

So weird that they would spend their time on this even as racists.
