But if my child said 'I want to dress as an character' and wanted facepaint or a wig, I would draw the line.

Isn't it a good sign when kids want to be a Saudi Arabian princess? Or Moana? I mean isn't it better than just sticking with the white princesses? If those reasons are not obvious to you, then you need to learn why.Īnonymous wrote:NP I think it's a little sad that kids can't be whatever character they want. Pocohontas and some other movies haven't aged very well for obvious reasons. Moana was developed with input from indigenous advisors. Pocohontas is decades older than Moana and the difference is clear. You don't want them to learn about other cultures, you just want them to wear caricatures of those cultures. Little girls don't realize they are white? What now? Obviously they can see race. I will for sure steer my daughters to only the white princesses. You're not even answering OP's question! We're talking about little girls who don't realize that they're white and shouldn't wear other culture's clothing. Learn a little bit about cultural appropriation and racist cultural stereotypes. There, perfect respect and perfect integration. White people should only watch movies with white characters.Īnd ethnic people should only watch movies with ethnic characters.
