Questions

First of all I completely agree that all ethnicities should be represented in fairytales. But some of them are just supposed to stay as they are - which is white.

In german speaking TikTok the currant actress is a hot topic for following reasons:

1. It is a known fact that Snow White is a German Fairytale.

2. „Haare schwarz wie Ebenholz, Haut so weiß wie Schnee“ which translates to "Hair as black as ebony, skin as white as snow" - It is Snow Whites white skin that got her this name.

3. Nowadays naturally pale people are seen as sick, ugly and pasty. With Snow White having darker skin they take a source of comfort from us. What disney princesses are we supposed to show our children for comfort if they're harrassed for being to pale?

4. It seems like white people are losing representation in fairytales that come from OUR culture yet everyone yells out "cultural appropriation" when we use pieces of other cultures.

I already hear that "blanca nieves" is a popular fairytale in Spanish speaking countries but it is and will always be a GERMAN fairytale!

Do you ever look at movies- see a sad ending,

and then think up ways you could have solved it, “done it differently,” or saved them?

Or am I the only one who does this? Lol
