enajcosta:soggy-bunny:theimpossiblescheme:libertarirynn:libertypical:cisnowflake:theambassadorposts:*pretends to be shocked*WhoThe FUCKCARES?!they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and ChristiansAlso completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli. You guys are fucking exhausting.The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*Tumblr: “But why are there white people???????”have you considered………. BOTH POINTS ARE TOTALLY RIGHTwe have to stop pretending like theres a shortage of black actors, asian actors, disabled actors and etc. its not difficult to cast roles with accurate representation. egypt is in fucking africa theyre not white. israel is in the middle east theyre not white. they sure as shit werent white thousands of years ago either.just because whites have taken over christianity doesnt mean it belongs to us, neither does this story, neither do these roles.loving something, being proud of something, doesnt mean loving every detail. you can love something while still asking it to be better. ^^^^ -- source link
