Snow White?

DON FEDER notes:

Disneyland is reopening its Snow White ride to howls of protest from the Woke mob. How can she consent to Prince Charming’s kiss when she isn’t awake? #MeToo. Presumably, she’d prefer to be asleep forever than to be kissed without prior written authorization.

Frankly, I find the whole story problematic:

• The very name – Snow White – suggests a connection between whiteness and purity. What about calling her Diversity Rainbow?

• All of the characters are Caucasians – no dwarfs of color. It makes non-whites invisible.

• Why does a man have to kiss Snow White? Why not another princess?

• What’s the backstory on the Wicked Queen? Perhaps her issues arose from being dominated by a white patriarchal culture.

• None of the characters are trans. Maybe Dopey and Sneezy transitioned from giants.

• The dwarfs were miners. What about their carbon footprint? Noise pollution? Unsafe working conditions? Were they even unionized?

• Everything doesn’t have to go. When Diversity Rainbow entered the Dwarfs’ cottage, she was homeless – and it’s good to raise awareness of their plight.
