Yes the Sami are pale, but they're also an indigenous minority with a long history of oppression and they still deal with racist shit to this day.

Maybe consider that "white privilege" is a very American concept.

+1 unfortunately the 'Murican SJbrats have Internet privilege they are completely and wholly unaware of.

I'm not saying the Sami don't face oppression or a ton of other shit, but the majority of posts (granted not all) that I've seen on tumblr haven't been addressing that.

They're more filled with rage cries of "Thanks Frozen for once again filling a whole movie with white people! The Sami are POC native to the region! Why couldn't you have made one of the characters Sami?"

To which I discovered that while Sami are a minority, they are white. So complaining about "too many white people" while supplementing that argument with a solution of "fill the movie with Sami people" is dumb. Because the Sami are white. Kristoff could very well be Sami, and we'd never know.

IDK, the whole thing reeks of 'white people are evil' and 'everyone who is oppressed cannot white' which kind of gets on my nerves because it is, as you said, very American-centric.

"but the majority of posts (granted not all) that I've seen on tumblr haven't been addressing that"

Which is where "social justice" fails. Or succeeds, actually, if they want to be racist, and get away with it.

TBH I think the reason it floods the Internet so much, is because there are so many Americans putting their whole social lives and interactions ON the Internet. Which, y'know, is a privilege. A pathetic privilege, but still.

They are white-looking now through ages of assimilation and interbreeding. In the time period the movie tries to resemble they were browner and black-haired. The point here being that they had an opportunity to put non-white people in and didn't, possibly because "well, they look white, anyway."

can you please be more precise? I'm talking color code here, or else there'd be an uproar if they got it wrong again.

this, thank you
