We tried that. They took over the country.

“This year, grievance-mongers moaned about the casting of mixed-race actress Zoe Saldana as black jazz legend Nina Simone”

isn’t saldana an extreme left winger who marched for BLM and other far left wing causes?

I didn’t watch the first movie, and I am not going to watch this one either.

No, they will not. They must be shown to be imbeciles and ridiculed before they will fade.

Additionally, she wants Japanese-American George Takei to play the Chinese Emperor and another Korean American, Margaret Cho, to play the Chinese matchmaker.

A hate-filled homosexual and a hate-filled lesbian - that casting would seem to ensure a box office disaster.

They won’t let us ignore them. We are being made to care, to accept, to endorse.

George Takei voiced Mulan's Ancestor Ghost in the 1998 Film anyway.

The Late, Great Pat Morita voiced The Emperor in the '98 film.

Well if "whitewashing" is so wrong, can someone explain the casting of Hamilton to me?

Grievance mongering. Their motto, in the immortal words of Mickey Rooney: “Miss Gorightly I protest! You disturba me!”

There was a time, not so long ago, when I personally took a "live and let live" policy towards activists, gay activists in particular. They called for "tolerance" and I was tolerant. Mostly because I didn't care about their causes.

Now, as you point out, they're calling for forced acceptance, even forced celebration of their causes. "Do this, or I will ruin you. Because I can." is approximately their position. So, now I'm being forced to pay attention, to care.

I may be wrong, but I think that activists - gay activists, specifically - won't like it when conservatives start to pay attention, to care about their causes. I suspect that they'll want to dial the clock back 20 years to the laissez-faire attitude that I, and many others, held.

Because it won't end well, for anyone.

Actually, Mulan was one of my favorite Disney movies. As a parent of young mixed race children it was nice seeing an asian female lead in a family movie. And the movie is as accurate as most Disney adapted movies. Even movies like Cinderella and Snow White are not exact retelling of the Fairy Tales. I am no left wing kook, but i do appreciate diversity in movies. Sadly, most whites do just see yellow skin as close enough in roles.

I’m afraid I’ll have to take the side of the whiners in this one. IMO, historical characters should be played by someone who looks as much like them as possible. Thus, Mulan should be played by an Asian actress, Martin Luther King should be played by a black actor, and Hamilton should be played by a white actor. To do otherwise is to degrade historical accuracy.

Fictional characters, on the other hand, should be played by whoever — unless a specific race or gender is specifically called for.

Well, one thing is certain, they have convinced you to use their language. There is nothing gay about any of these perverts. They are sodomites, little changed from thousands of years ago when they were kicked to the closet.
