“No joke im not watching this,” said @georknee_. “The story was above native Hawaiians. I have yet to see a native Hawaiian person casted. And before anyone starts, there’s a difference between being a native Hawaiian and just being born in Hawaii”.
Little Mermaid - a scandinavian folk tale, cast a black actress - all fine, brave and all that.
A guy who is actually Hawaiian, even looks Hawaiian but he looks slightly whiter then the cartoon version - get your pitchforks.
The guy can work in the garden shirtless for a day and he will be almost the same as the cartoon, but that is not enough.
See, this arguments I can understand. He does not look as physically fit as in the cartoon, but no one cares about that, all they care is his skin tone to an exaggerated degree.
If he was cast by a black guy from the Congo they would have been 100% ok with it.
With news added to this that they might be ditching Mr Bubbles for a lighter skin woman, I got to ask, who is this meant to appeal to?
It's bad enough that this like aladin, lion King and others were god tier because they were animated (at the right time) but with all these unnecessary virtue changes, who does this appeal to?
They could have just had Keith David play the stupid character. Everyone would have had a good laugh. Especially if he stood in front of a Gargoyle for a moment. Even better if he was petting a black cat.
Serious question, what is the issue with their issue with the dude? He looks exactly how I expect a hawaiian to look like. Most likely he does not stay in the sun all day and he is probably slightly darker skinned then the picture do to lighting.
Can we have the same standard for Europe?
Have anyone of these people had to explain why they had no problem with Ariel race swap but they are upset about this?

I just can't understand this level of hypocrisy.
Neither can I. I’m just curious how they can make that argument
By mind mindkilling themselves to completely forget that they made that argument in the first place.
Good point. Using the MIB flashy thing
If anything, he needs to work in the garden for a few months, on a busted up old weight bench. His press photo looks skinnyfat.

She's very tanned. Explained in her song, "(It's really sunny) Under the sea."
Fish eyes on the sides of her head are on point too.
They just hate White people. There's no deep meaning to be gleaned.

It's not that woman, they hired the dude that plays Miles Dyson in Terminator 2.
Yeah later heard that they weren't doing that to Mr Bubbles, still gonna be a trainwreak though, I don't think I've seen ANY of these live adaptations

Did they expect him to look like an african?
Yes. The crazy Twatters saw the original Lilo and Stitch and instantly though all Hawaiians are as black as cooled lava.
