Whitewashing Defenders' Greatest Hits

“If you have to have someone who looks like you in the media in order for you to relate then maybe you’re the one who’s racist" 

“children don’t see/care about race" 

“Color doesn’t matter! It’s about the actor/story!”

“there are bigger issues to talk about than representation”

“they whitewashed because they need to make a profit and attract their target audience”

“historical accuracy”

“It’s a European fairytale/story so of course the characters will be white!”

“whitewashing isn’t real”

In case anyone’s wondering about the Earthsea thing? 

I’ve read the books.  Most of the cast should have been brown; Vetch (who, in the books, was Sparrowhawk’s student mentor and close friend who happened to be a fat dude rather than being the pudgy comic relief) should have been black.  In the sorry excuse for a miniseries?  Everyone except Ogion (and there are probably nasty implications to the one black dude being cast as the Wise Mentor™ figure) is white.  (Also of note: the cast being that white was against Le Guin’s wishes.)

The moral of this story, of course, is that white fans feel entitled to every role except a few stereotypical ones…but will jump to all sorts of bizarre conclusions in order to avoid examining or even admitting that.  (To paraphrase another of Le Guin’s works: head on backwards.)

Thank you for this! This issue of Representaion Matters is probably going to have to be argued with each and every generation of White people, who are used to having media pander to their wants and wishes.

Ursula K. Le Guin (may she rest in peace) was so disgusted (link) by the whitewashing of Earthsea, among other issues, that she vowed never to allow any other screen adaptations of her work except with her active involvement. She knew that this meant, in practice, that she would never get another call from Hollywood (link). That’s how you know where the media industry’s priorities lie, that they would forego adapting the works of a beloved author rather than respect the diversity she represented in her works.
