As a Scandinavian American, I'm outraged by the appropriation of my culture. Ok not really because I'm not a limp wrist lib, but still seems Disney hasn't had enough pain yet.
It seems that "Scandinavian" is an "underrepresented race or ethnicity" in US productions. Not sure why they couldn't bring themselves to see that truth and instead chose to erase your ethnic identity.
If you read the whole Best Picture DEI shit they actually have a list of what specific ethnicities and races are accepted as "underrepresented."
tl;dr: Literally anyone who doesn't have European ancestry.
Underrepresented racial or ethnic groups may include:
• African American / Black / African and/or Caribbean descent
• East Asian (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian)
• Hispanic or Latina/e/o/x
• Indigenous Peoples (including Native American / Alaskan Native)
• Middle Eastern / North African
• Pacific Islander
• South Asian (including Bangladeshi, Bhutanese, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan)
• Southeast Asian (including Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Mien, Singaporean, Thai, and Vietnamese)
The weird thing is, that each of these regions HAS their own thriving film industry. If the actors guild doesn't want to nominate any Nigerian movies into the best picture category, is the solution to that most triggering of micro-aggressions really blackwashing another viking or redhead?
There's plenty of Sri Lankan film. It's not Whitey's fault if it's all shit.
