White people are OUTRAGED that Yara Shahidi will be Tinkerbell in the new Peter Pan movie. #NotMyTinkerbell

Maybe she had the best audition and they chose to hire the best for thr part

We got grown ass men worried about a character called Tinkerbell...

 

[JLova]

Oh to be white. Imagine being mad over snit like this . Go ahead and remake passion of the Christ with black Jesus and watch these mahfukkaz start jumping from buildings.

it makes me wonder how white people reacted to the wiz back in the day

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I say let white characters stay white, and create new, original black characters. Nobody was asking for this.

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

I love Yara, but she don't have enough booty to be Tinkerbell

 

[KRayner]

are white people really outraged or is it just twitter babble like most of this dumb shyt?

i think no one really cares about a peter pan disney + movie

I kinda do gotta rock with the fact that its type funny style that it does seem to just go one way.

As a black person idc, I'm not watching this anyways but I can step out of myself enough to say I wouldn't be surprised if Asians and Latinos were miffed about their exclusion.

To me that's understandable.

And yeah Yara is half Iranian but she presents as monoracially black.

Either way, happy to see her get a check even if I understand other poc grievances.

Eff white tears though. Idgaf what those people are crying about.

Changing white characters like the little mermaid and tinkerbell is corny, just incorporate new black characters or emphasize the ones that already exist

That screenshot does look like a pretty awful casting, I never gave two fukks about peter Pan tho.

Disney seems to live for these little internet controversies more than making successful movies these days

If you have a white character change race it’s a transracial
Make a new character it’s that simple

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Lazy ass Afric00n

He’s right. She’s arab, not black

 

[The_Sheff]

Disneys race swapping is pisses me off. If you want to use black people make a original movie about a black character. Its as simple as that.

Im with it with white people on this. Leave the original source material as is. I would also be outraged if they made the princess from princess and the frog asian just to pander to the asian community.

The Princess from The Princess And The Frog was originally white too breh.
