Isn't anti-racism supposed to be about equality and fairness? Well, I don't think it's fair to change an iconic character's ethnicity from white to black, but if someone changed the ethnicity of Tiana, Mulan, or Aladdin, people would go absolutely nuts. Even though it is regarding a caucasian, that doesn't mean it's not racist.
shareand people would have a complete colour if NO blacks showed up
shareExactly! There were no black villians, and likely for the reason that some people will have a problem with it, so they had to make one of them black for the sake of this film.

You must be joking there are villains that are not white Jafar (Aladdin), Dr. Faciller (princess and the frog), Rasputin (Anastasia), Shan Yu (Mulan), and those are the only ones at the top of my head. By the way if they made let's say Hans or The evil Queen or any other white villan and made them let's say black the world would *beep* bricks and go omg they are so racist making that character black! What do they think they are doing! And somewhere along the way some one will pull the used to be slaves card saying they always portrayed us as bad people.
sharethe movie Anastasia isn't Disney so Rasputin wouldn't be allowed.
shareRasputin was Russian and Caucasian.
shareI don't care what skin colour he was. But the MOVIE Anastasia was NOT Disney. so he can't be included in "Disney villians"
shareExcuse me. I just mentioned that Rasputin was Russian and therefore white, even in that abomination of a movie, Anastasia. What I said has nothing to do with Disney. So sorry to ruffle your feathers, dear.
shareIn America, Jafar is considered white and most Middle Eastern and North African people are considered Caucasian, but he still represents an Arab minority.
Rasputin was Eastern European and he's a character from FOX's Anastasia. Doesn't apply here.
And the OP is just looking for a reason to complain. They changed more than just Cruella. They changed Aurora's mother, hell they changed Maleficient herself. She was GREEN! and they made her WHITE!
Aurora being black was racist
shareI had more of a problem with the actor playing her son. He is a paste white boy with blonde hair (in the movie). Kind of hard to believe he is her child

It's sad you don't know many mixed people.
Do yourself a favor and look up the Aylmer twins, they will blow your pea-sized mind.
Or maybe since they were saying fck the plot anyway they just hired a black person for the part. Geez, people go nuts over the weirdest things; and Mulan, Tiana, and Aladdin are among the very few even remotely none white characters to be on Disney ever. Of course people want them to stay ethnic, how many Asian, black middle eastern characters do vaguely tan/brown people get to pick from?
