Goodbye Snow White. Hello Diversity Rainbow Don Feder
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.
Call rewrite. We need a new script from the author of “Heather Has Two Mommies.”
