I was curious so I found the article:
https://insidethemagic.net/2024/06/disney-executive-caught-saying-company-wont-hire-white-men-rl1/

The quote is exactly what normal people assume it is, out of context and not the entire quote.

Twentieth Century Television Senior Vice President Michael Giordano was caught on a hidden video saying that Disney explicitly does not hire “white men” for specific roles.

For specific roles. That's pretty fcking obvious. You're not going to hire a white man to play the little mermaid.

Ironically if they did hire a white man to play The Little Mermaid, the hard right nutjobs would be screaming that it was part of a "woke trans agenda" to normalize crossdressing and eliminate the traditional American male from society lol

I mean, the little mermaid should be a danish woman. Like thats where the tale comes from. if they want a diverse movie, why not use a tale from somewhere that isnt europe?
