american media portrays Samis as white and try to defend it (Disney, Tumblr)

[Argang]

tbh imo I doubt they were uniformly dark

Simplified, the issue here is that modern left has adopted the views of 19th century and early 20th century racialist anthropologists (Saami are Yakuts or something) so that they get to accuse Disney of whitewashing.

Are there even any actual Saami or even Scandinavians in the choir of complainers or is it all American leftists?

I had not heard any complaints whatsoever until I saw this video so I guess no one cares. People are probably happy that they are not portrayed as Eskimos

He's probably like 25% Saami but decides to call himself Saami because that's the side he find most interesting.

Like you?

RussiaPrussia, RP, this is a new low for your inferiority complex.

You know that US media/propaganda/movies is far superior and more entertaining/popular than Russian media.

Also while I'm here I recommend you to stop "copy+pasting" articles & quotes like Atlantic_Islander does, at least provide some of your own opinions & commentary when you do so, thanks!

so the countless classify threads are Okey? this not?

The guy in that video is an idiot. The Sami guy, Kristoff in the cartoon has brown eyes, whereas this idiot tried saying that they all had blonde hair and blue eyes in the film.

Add on top of that, that he started off with "comrade" at the beginning of the video. Why? Commie wannabes fulfilling stereotypes?

whats the problem, i quote anyone as long as i like his opinion. Just because hes communist does it mean everything is wrong what he says?

Are the characters even supposed to be Sami (except the reindeer guy)? Disney has never explicitly stated they are, they're just refered to as Scandinavian, so the exact ethnicity is not specified, allthough they all do have typical Scando names (and looks). The only thing that is officially recognized is that the movie is based on a Danish fairytale, it's inspired by Scandinavian and Sami culture, and that the surroundings are Norwegian. I think the upset Samis are a bit megalomaniac thinking the movie is all about them.

I already mentioned one point that he was lying about, and to answer you about communists: YES. His ideology is his motive to till the domain until he finds his reason to bitch. It's a Disney movie, not a documentary. I personally like it because they brought back the musical style of older films. But that poor excuse of a man finds an excuse to complain, because OMG they have blue eyed and blonde haired people in their cartoon based in Scandinavia.

I always respected Sami people, hopefully i will meet some of them one day.

I lived with Saami people for a few months, worked with reindeer and all that. They were very nice and accepting of me, I worked hard of course and I can't find anything negative to say about the experience.
