Moana (Live-Action)

Am I the only one creeped out by the % counting of someone's race? Sounds like WWII and how the Nazis decided if someone was 1/8th Jewish or one quarter Jewish.

Nope. I am too.

It's funny how those 'anti racist' people end up being racist themselves.

Mmm hmm.

I don't think Pokenonbinary represents all "antiracist" people, they just represent themselves. TBH, I think D23 was right that they're some conservative putting on an act.

So an actress who is less than a quarter Polynesian should play a Polynesian princess from 1000 years ago in an isolated island where people do endogamy?

Should Zendaya play a Kenyan princess from the middle ages?

I'm a multi-racial multi-ethnic person, accepting that mixed people are mixed is not racist, the racism comes from the one drop rule of thinking that bring 1% something makes you fully that thing

Auli'i left the role for a racially Polynesian actress and they casted one, she's the producer and she made a good decision

She's mixed and also white passing, something Moana is not, colorism, featurism and mixerism are huge in Hollywood (and basically every country) she herself understands her position of power
