People who defend the whitewashing of Heathcliff with the argument that a narrative with a poc villain is inherently racist seem unaware of the real material harm that such a stance entails. Actors of color have been historically alienated from the cinematic industry, it's very rare for them to have an opportunity to play a character that is both interesting and in the spotlight of a story. If you try to list the 20 most iconic characters in films and television in the US/UK, you'll find that a very small percentage of those were played by actors of color. Even the recent "attempt" of big studios to be more inclusive by casting people of color to play classic fairy tale characters falls short because these new versions are still forced to exist under the shadow of a classic, white-led story. By arguing that Heathcliff, a man of color, be played by a white man, you are reinforcing a system that has effectively kept people of color out of relevant roles, a system that only allows people of color to exist if they are subservient lambs in a white-centered narrative. Characters like Don Draper, Walter White and Patrick Bateman get to be universally adored as villainous/morally grey men, but Heathcliff can only exist in all his layers (good and bad) if he is white man, because of course people of color owe the world moral purity, people of color are only allowed to exist if they are well-behaved enough. You people are arguing to take job opportunities away from people of color and give them to privileged white men. And you claim to be doing that in the name of "anti racism" of course.

So I spent last night looking at gifs and clips of the line dance scene and here are the steps as far as I could figure them out. I broke them down into counts of four to make them easier to follow and also refrained from using line dance terminology, figuring most people wouldn’t be familiar with it.

Keep in mind that this might not be 100 % accurate. If I got something wrong, please let me know and I'll change it. Also thanks to @issybean2 for sharing their version of the dance here (which I only saw after I'd written this down)!

TIL that some guy from 1902 made a drawing titled “Never my dear Stede Bonnet did I dream you would see me in such plight” and that is such a raw quote that should be utilized
