The difference is that the character is Hawaiian and should be played by a Hawaiian. One would hope the director wants the movie to come off as authentic.
But they’ll happily get a non white actor to play Ariel a white red headed character, or Zendaya to play Mary Jane, a red head girl, or a black girl to play Annie, the archetypal little pale red head girl.
What is this bigotry towards red heads?
The racist double standards of Hollywood are appalling.
I am getting sick of this color issue. If they are Hawaiian why is there always a problem. Its getting worse. Changing everything,go with whoever is the better actor.
How come they are moaning about the skintone not being dark enough?
They didn’t place a’ White ‘ actor in the role because it wouldn’t be accepted!.
But they will happily and activily accept dark skin actors replacing light skin characters saying its much needed diversity…….no one is allowed to moan about that!
What reason do you have to moan about that? Is your only problem that the new actor has darker skin? Why are you choosing to let this bother you so much? Don’t you have hobbies?
I assume then that you are not bothered about white actors playing non white characters? Because if you are, that would make you a hypocrite with no hobbies 🙂
People complain the Lilo and Stitch cast is too light. Other people complain Tinkerbell and Ariel are black and Peter Pan is Latino. You all need to stop complaining. Let Disney make the films they want to make. Don’t see the films if you have problem with the casting choices.
If only Disney and Hollywood were as concerned about casting dark skinned actors in white roles. Ariel was not black. Annie was a small red head girl, not black, Hermione is not black, Mary Jane Watson is not black, Ann Bolyn was NOT black.
Idris Elba played Heimdall well but he’s a Viking God and not black.
The list goes on but you get the point.
It seems that Hollywood and Disney think it’s fine to be racist towards Whites but even a hint of it the other way is unacceptable.
Disney is so unshamefully racist that they feel it unacceptable to cast a native Hawaiian actor for a Hawaiian role just because they aren’t dark enough.
Remember kids, in the woke world of the Progressive Left, perception is more important than reality.
Comments for Disney Backtracks, Recasts Controversial ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Actor

Wow glad Disney is not racist or anything! As darker skin not better actor won this one!
So what is the difference between that and hiring a white person because they acted better?

It’s not raciest it only has to do with how light your skin is!
Now if I changed that to it’s not raciest it’s do to how dark your skin is!
Change two words light and dark but only one as looked as being racist.
Dwayne Johnson as Bubbles as the one they picked looks like a black Mr Rogers.
Heiwa
We don’t need the rock in more movies his acting is literally peck pops and raised eyebrows. Lawrence Fishburne however may be a better fit

An actual Hawaiian person got fired because she was the wrong color of brown to play a Hawaiian character.
Think long and hard about whether this is the America you want to live in.
