Disney's Diverse Casting For Live-Action 'Snow White' Sparks Heated Debate
- Latina actress Rachel Zegler cast as Snow White, drawing criticism from some and support from others including Halle Bailey.
- Leaked set photos showing diverse "magical creatures" instead of seven dwarfs prompts accusations of political correctness.
- Disney initially denies but later confirms the photos are real, saying they consulted the dwarfism community to avoid stereotypes.
- Conservatives like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro decry the film as "woke", while advocates argue it brings needed representation.
- Debate centers on whether the changes reflect positive progress or unnecessary tampering with a classic story.
