Lately, no one is surprised when a black the actor in the movie plays the role of a white hero, but this time the arrow turned On the other side
Disney studios got together to shoot a remake of the cute cartoon "Lilo and Stitch", and made an extremely strange decision that caused in the ranks progressive and offended fierce seething. And the point is that the girl Lilo and her sister Nani living in Hawaii in the original cartoon had very dark skin, but the actresses chosen for this role on them not very similar.
Sidney Agudong, chosen as Nani, Native Hawaiian Filipino origin, raised on Kauai, Hawaiian island, but That's bad luck, the girl's skin is fair. As we all remember, in the Western world fair skin is now bad manners.
Maya Kealoha was cast for the role of Lilo, it will be a debut for a child in the world of cinema. The girl successfully passed the casting and, according to Colliders, has experience in Tahitian dances, which is important for this role. Her skin also not very dark, but the flurry of criticism fell on Cindy, so how she meets the standards of European beauty.
