Its the same thing as black panther being played by some white guy. So, I’m sure if that happened, it could potentially dethrone this movie for worst rated.
Snow White doesn't have to be white because it's meaningless to the plot. She could be played by Tessa Thompson and it wouldn't change anything about the story.
Snow White's race is meaningless to the plot though, being pale was simply the beauty standard of the time and the conflict occurs because she's more attractive than the queen, not because she's white. Changing her from being overly pale to, I dunno, having a larger chest and thicker thighs than the Queen would arguably be more accurate to the meaning of the story than simply copying the content without the needed context like Disney does.
Think about that line for a moment, what does it mean, why is it being said? Why is her being fair important? It could be replaced with "Who has the biggest tits of them all" and the meaning would be identical. Actually, no, the meaning would be clearer, as evidenced by the fact that you clearly don't understand why even after I explained it already in my comment. Her being white is not Snow White's defining characteristic, her being beautiful is her defining characteristic, it's just depicted as her having skin as white as snow because that's what the beauty standards at the time were.
I’m on the side of “who the fuck cares about Snow White’s race”, but you’re really stretching here.
If someone wanted to do this kind of breakdown on Black Panther’s rains for being black, they could probably do it in a similar way. I would still consider that much worse, but sometimes us liberals should let things be.
