Talk:Mulan (2020 film)/@comment-27373870-20180728212006/@comment-4889892-20180809221639

I don't know why this part of your comment came out so late but it did, so I'm responding to it, not carrying on the conversation after I just said we can agree to disagree.

You can't compare the racism in Dumbo and Fantasia to what's present in Mulan. It isn't racist (besides the panda joke and "moo goo gai pan." Just delete this and the film is no different.) Disney tried to portray the culture in cartoon form and came short of true authenticity. (In the press kit they describe reading The Art of War and visiting China, for example.) And for those films, I wouldn't change the whole story either. Just the racist parts. I mean, name the crows something else and make the racially ambiguous. They're crows, they don't have a race. Similarly, they can change Mushu to be a shapeshifter. The only reason I'm on this forum is because I've pretty much been obsessed with Mulan for the past 8 years of my life.

I mean, are you protesting Aladdin for not making Aladdin Chinese (like the original tale)? Are you doing everything you can to stop a Pocahontas live action from coming out? (Yes Disney, just avoid this one. You try to make it historically accurate and this will be a totally different story that nobody will like. Keep it the same and you tell a story about Hitler falling in love with a Jewish girl, as I've heard it explained. Maybe you just should've stayed away from Mulan too, but you're greedy, aren't you?)

Kpop isn't ancient Korean culture but it can bring people to it. I'd also say that language is part of culture. Lots of people try to learn Korean because of Kpop.
