This meme is really underrated. I think people are afraid to like it, probably fearing some kind of public shaming if anyone found out.
But the fact is, Disney is doing this very thing. Remaking movies, or altering stories to replace white people with people of color. Just look at what they're doing with the live action Little Mermaid remake - Ariel is going to be played by Halle Bailey. Why is this a problem? The story is a Danish fairy tale from the 1800's. Not many Danish people of color from that time period.....
