I don't understand why a traditional European fairy tale - Snow White is a German story - that features a girl called Snow White "because her skin was a white as snow" has a Latino girl in the lead role. They've already moved the Danish Little Mermaid to the Caribbean. Meanwhile, a live action version of Moana features Catherine Laga'aias of Samoan heritage because they wouldn't dare cast a black girl or a white girl for that. I wouldn't expect a traditional African story to feature an Asian actor or a traditional Indian story to feature a white actor. So why is it acceptable to blind cast traditional European fairy tales but be true to heritage when a story comes from outside Europe?
