Wasn’t Snow White supposed to be the fairest / whitest skin tone of them all? Because some cultures preferred that back then? Some still do today.

I guess. But there’s nothing wrong with respectful recasting. For example, Pinocchio was originally Italian. That doesn’t mean anyone who plays Pinocchio must be Italian.
So you wanna make Snow White a Latina, or maybe a Chinese lady? Why not? Go for it, and let the audience decide with their dollars.
Just don’t go all weird or pervert on me. I would not defend a small child or a tranny as Snow White, for example.

Making Snow White a brown girl is like making Ariel not know how to swim.
