Look, I'm not saying I don't want to see characters of color.

I just don't understand why y'all can't create original characters instead of race switching existing ones just for the sake of artificial diversity. Are we saying Hollywood writers are that unoriginal and hacky?

Honestly I don’t care if they want to change most of the characters races, just not Snow White. She had an actual cannon description that most others lack…hair as black as ravens, skin as white as snow and lips as red as rubies. I don’t recall Cinderella being described in the books as a blonde caucasian, that was just a choice made for the screen.

@Zaphod42 I just think it shows a lack of originality. You don't just take a character that's been canonically one way for half a century, change something about their physical appearance, and not expect some backlash.

Was Scooby-Doo a bit monochromatic? Yeah. But the way to fix that isn't to change established characters.

At the same time, I'm not going to be defining my entire personality around being annoyed by this.
