Re: I NEED TO VENT

Also there is a film based on a Scandinavian story? How did I miss this?

Wait? Whitewashing of Sami people? Or Scandinavians? Because hate to break it to the people of tumblr. but you can't get any whiter than Scandinavians, have you seen our people?



Kinda related to that picture, that man is Finish and me and a friend had this (completely non serious discussion) about how Finns look a lot more Scandinavian than Norwegians and how odd that is...

Frozen is based off a fairytale from Hans Christian Andersen (the same Danish guy who wrote The Little Mermaid)

and there was a tumblr post about how they were whitewashing the characters for the movie... a movie that's set in a place very much like somewhere in Scandinavia.

Re: I NEED TO VENT

Which one, I can't recall one named Frozen? H.C. Andersen was my bedtime stories when I grew up (amusingly The Little Mermaid was my favourite, and I hated the film)

HOW CAN YOU WHITEWASH SCANDINAVIANS? We are white, like seriously white especially if you go back in history (our slaves were also white when we had slaves) of course today we do have POC in Scandinavia, but I am pretty sure we didn't have that many when H.C Andersen wrote his stories, which when he wrote them down already had been told for quite some time

It's The Snow Queen. The similarities in storyline seem to be basically nonexistent, though.

Re: I NEED TO VENT

[making_excuses]

Huh, ah well they already killed The Little Mermaid story and no one is complaining about that or are they? I stay away from Disney fandom, they scare me so how much worse can it be?

Re: I NEED TO VENT

[tamabonotchi]

That's basically the question when any rational person reads posts from tumblr about it, and that's the point OP was trying to make. People on tumblr are trying to find something wrong with the movie by saying they're "appropriating Saami culture and making it about white people" or "all the characters are white they're whitewashing".

Re: I NEED TO VENT

[making_excuses]

Hm, why can't they just use a real argument like: Sami culture though white is still a minority and they deserve their history to be treated with respect? But if it is based on a H.C Andersen story I don't see where it comes into play? I know absolutely nothing about the film so it isn't like I can have an opinion on that...

Re: I NEED TO VENT

[(Anonymous)]

A cute Finnish man o_O I thought I'd never see the day. Who is that?

Also, as a Scandinavian you have to be very, very careful when insisting you're white. ("What do you mean you're white? Why don't you want to be called a POC? Are you saying POCs are inferior?! You're a racist!")

Re: I NEED TO VENT

There are at least two of them:

First up Heikki Huovinen, also known as the Greek God* physiotherapist for Sebastian Vettel on Red Bull (F1 racing):



(To the right, left is Sebastian Vettel)

Then we have Kimi Raikonen, also known as The Iceman F1 Driver:



(To the left, on the right we have Vettel again, whom is not Finish, but German, though he hangs out with a lot of Finns)

*Which is not a tumblr. thing, it was a male journalist that started it...

I know, that is an issue (though not as major as a lot of issues on earth)...
