Rachel Zegler's Snow White doesn't need rescuing. What's wrong with that?
In the summer of 2021, Disney announced thatThe casting news was welcomed by most, but a minority of internet trolls targeted Zegler and Disney with racist abuse, claiming that the Disney princess, who is renowned for her porcelain skin, should not be played by a Latina actress.Zegler responded to the abuse on Twitter, writing:"Extremely appreciative of the love I feel from those defending me online, but please don’t tag me in the nonsensical discourse about my casting.
She concluded with a message of hope, writing:"I hope every child knows that they can be a princess no matter what." The racist reaction to Disney's casting news was depressing but not entirely surprising. After all, Halle Bailey, who played Ariel in the recent remake of, was also subjected to horrific levels of racist abuse at the time of her casting.Two years on from Zegler's casting announcement, the actress has once again been targeted with criticism, this time for promising viewers a reimagined, more modern princess.
This week, the resurfaced interview gained major traction on TikTok. Predictably, some creators stitched the video, and accused Zegler of, and I quote, not being"appreciative of being a Disney princess" and for"questioning the essence of Snow White".What was less predictable, however, was a surge in videos from self-proclaimed feminists, taking issue with Zegler's stance that Snow White could be a leader.
In one TikTok video which has now racked up over 3 million views, creator @cosywithangie describes the criticism of Disney princesses, such as the original Snow White, as"pseudofeminism".Just because a woman values something different, does not make her any less valuable. Some women want a career and not marriage. Some women want a marriage or family and not a job. Some women want BOTH. All are to be heard, and seen, and valued.
