She looks a lot darker in most promo material, very much intentionally so. And her hair is much lighter for the movie stills that have been released so far as well, which is definitely something that would have helped the contrast but nah. And no, it's not racist (colorist at best but not even that), and a lighter skinned Asian person (they di very much exist, stop pretending they don't) is just one of the options, mainly because Asian actors are ridiculously underrepresented in movies in general and Disney movies in particular.

Colorism is racist idk why you’re trying to act like it’s not, and even the palest Asian is not white in the way you seem to be insisting. We have yellow undertones not pink, so we do look darker than most white people but especially so next to really pale white people.

Also most of the ‘pale’ Asian actors you’ll be thinking of are actors whitewashed to fuck with filters in a TV show or adverts, or female actors wearing foundation shades 3 shades lighter than they actually are.

There’s an anon on here who is obsessed with this ‘pale beauty’ Asian person aesthetic and they keep trying to pass off their fetish as progressive when it’s not.

Colorism isn't nnecessarily racist though. A lot of that is a class/beauty standard issue, not a race issue. Nobody is paper white and white Europeans can have yellow undertones too. And I personally know a lot of pale Asian people from studies abroad and guess what, none of them were living under a filter or were using heavy makeup. You sound weird as fuck (and also kinda colorist yourself) trying to insist nobody in Asian countries is ever pale when that's not the case. And before you go "yes well they try to stay pale!" -Yeah, no shit Sherlock, how do you think very pale white people keep that skin colour? By using products/not going into the sun for extended periods of time. Do you seriously think white people are just paper white and don't ever tan?

I am paper white and don't ever tan. I don't even freckle. I can't scrape up enough brown. It's odd that you think I don't exist & also that you speak for all white people everywhere.

All of this.

I remember about twenty years ago, the only ones getting defensive and pissy about there being white people outside of countries that were either in Europe or heavily colonized by Europe were white supremacists. It's beyond weird to me to watch leftists try to erase the existence of white skin outside of the tidy little area where they go around decrying the historical crimes and moral failings of "whiteness."

This anon kept doing this on the comment secret as well- insisting there are no paler Asian people and everyone saying otherwise is just some racist white girl falling for the whitewashed filters in drama series.

Nobody is saying pale Asians don't exist, but the fact is that people who haven't spent time in East Asia and only know about it from their media have an incredibly skewed view of how pale Asians are on average.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-04 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
This is not and has never been about the average skin colour of the average Asian population though. Why is that so hard to understand? It's about casting ONE person where the skin colour would be on the paler side, which is not exactly average but also far from nonextitent.
