Aladdin did as well with Will Smith in the helm. I think part of it is Halle Bailey doesn’t have the starpower overseas like that.

How are you going to shift the blame to Black people and away from the people actually being racist?
You must not know me. In fact i have some of the largest threads against illegal immigration on The Coli. Plus, chinese are rarely illegal immigrants.
To be fair he realized this and got his wake up call.China poster was more accurate for Finns role

Will was blue in that movie
And the previous Ariel didn't have any starpower either, but she was a cartoon cacette.
But if they don't like Black leads in movies just keep pushing those types of films over there with exactly that until they get over it.

begging a room of majority white writers to include and write black stories is a bad look.

We should acknowledge that racism is still a plague on the majority of society AND that we should begin to slowly create our own media… ie Gracie’s Corner

China keeps 80% of the gate receipts for movies over there...including Disney.
It's damn near impossible to make $$$.
The whole narrative is designed to discourage Black people from being the face. Media is trying to sell two messages: look how racist Red China is....and this is what happens when you push "diversity."
There's no nuance so they'll just try to erase Black directors, actors etc., from any big time movie unless it's funded by Tyler Perry and Oprah.

Aaah "political correctness." Chinese so behind the times with their racism they ain't even know "woke" has become the new buzzword for insecure bigots.
Imagine if a Chinese or Korean woman was casted to star in a reimagined Disney tale and it was bemoaned as "forced inclusion" in the country.
People come up with the greatest poetry to explain their shallow, simple minded racisn. They can just say they are culturally unfamiliar and uncomfortable with seeing black people in positions of power, nobility, and beauty, and I would respect that more than this nonsense.
Anti black racism among Asians is part of white supremacy. Do you really not understand the system we are living in?
