Does anyone remember the Disney Cinderella where Cinderella was black, the prince Filipino, the queen black, the king white and the evil stepmother white with one black and one white daughter?
I was such a fan of the Lesley Ann Warren one back in the sixties, but this was unwatchable. I can accept a fairy godmother who looks whatever but the multiracial families were ludicrous. What a turnoff.
I was their natural audience for that film, I couldn't even get through it. If they wanted to make a black Cinderella, make a black Cinderella. But a black royal and a white royal make a filapino? Geez.
I feel the same way about the Thor film. Black actors are fine, but this one is so in your face see how wonderfully multicultural we are. It's a turn off. It's not the black and white people that turn me off. It's the obnoxious thing that "We are denying the whole original story to shove our PC correctness in your face" thing.
