   Finally, our corporate overlords have taken on the scourge of racism   
   against magical creatures!   
      
   New set photos from woke behemoth Disney’s live-action remake of animated   
   classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” suggest they’ve done it largely   
   without the dwarfs.   
      
   Grumpy, Dopey, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy and Doc — who have delighted   
   kids for decades — seem like they’re getting the ax in favor of some   
   generic “magical creatures.”   
      
   Why?   
      
   Well, they were all men, all white and — worst of all — they perpetuated   
   harmful stereotypes against forest-dwelling, pointy hat-wearing,   
   nonexistent fairytale beings.   
      
   “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism, seemingly started   
   off the whole stupid affair back in 2022 when he whined in the press:   
   “You’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living   
   in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing   
   to advance the cause from my soapbox?”   
      
   Huh? Does Dinklage seriously think people have ever confused the cartoon   
   dwarfs in the movie with, you know, actual human beings?   
      
   Snow White’s dwarfs don’t even live in a cave! They have a snug, well-   
   appointed house.   
      
   To say nothing of the fact that they’re the moral center of the movie.   
      
   It’s not stereotyping; rather, like all fairy tales, it uses the unreal to   
   illuminate the far-too-real world we do inhabit.   
      
   Insanely, Disney seems to have listened.   
      
   And in the fall, the new Snow White, breakout “West Side Story” star   
   Rachel Zegler, got in on the action: “People are making these jokes about   
   ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is, because it   
   needed that.”   
      
   No, it didn’t.   
      
   It’s a cartoon. About magic spells, fate and true love.   
      
   It doesn’t need to be brought into line with our new, Twitter-driven Hays   
   Code.   
      
   Dinklage and Zegler spouting off like this, and Disney caving, makes as   
   much sense as AARP denouncing the portrayal of the hideous crone-witch in   
   the film as stereotyping old people.   
      
   So speak up, audiences! Woke corporations fold like cheap suits the moment   
   they face consumer blowback.   
      
   Just witness the ongoing Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.   
      
   Go microwave some popcorn and watch the classic Snow White tonight.

   I think the great silent majority already had its hackles up bc of the   
   over-representation of minorities in TV commercials. As agencies went Woke   
   long ago. Example: inter racial couples appearing at 27 times their rate   
   in the general population.

   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
