#talkaboutit • “Lilo & Stitch” was Disney’ #talkaboutit • “Lilo & Stitch” was Disney’s first representation for indigenous Hawaiians, but the recent castings for the 2024 live-action have received a lot of backlash.

Though the animated movie and series did well in portraying authentic Hawaiians, after Agudong and Machado were casted for the live-action, it sparked outrage and a hefty debate about colorism in the entertainment industry, which has happened more times than not, especially in Disney adaptations like 2019’s live-action “Aladdin.” Agudong has been reported to have Native Hawaiian ancestry, but many have argued that the role should’ve been given to a Native Hawaiian with a darker complexion.

@misspunnypennie: I grew up in a household that spoke a lot of Scots and used a lot of Scots words, then when I went to school Scots wasn’t used a lot in the school setting and a lot of families didn’t like or know scots, it’s a minoritized language, and that means people have actually tried to eradicate it. People would receive corporal punishment from teachers for speaking scots. It wasn’t considered cultured.

“Filipinos and Filipino-Americans come to my booth all the time and they’re like, ‘Thank you so much for representing us,’ and I’m so happy to be there for them because I know, when I was growing up, I gravitated towards any Filipinos I saw on screen or – frankly at that point – any Asian people that I saw on screen,” @annejyatco told Slice of Culture.

Americans love Cinco de Mayo, but marketers might Americans love Cinco de Mayo, but marketers might have led you to believe it’s something else.

By the 1980s and 90s, the number of Hispanic consumer had risen drastically, leaving marketing teams of multiple franchises and companies to have the day as a holiday to celebrate Mexican-American culture and it’s been carried on ever since. It was also during the 1980s’ that the Chicano movement — which took place in the 1960s and 1970s — popularized Cinco de Mayo, which led marketers to try and commercialize the holiday.
