#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.

#wordwednesday • The Scots language was dying out… but then one TikToker used her knowledge to slow the curve🗣️

@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.

There may not be a lot of known Filipino-American voice actors, but you can find one in one of the most popular animes of all time 🫣

“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.

“I’m happy to be that for them as others have been that for me.”

#supportlocal on a Sunday! 💪🏽 Meet Dream who was able to make a passion of his into reality.

“I like bright colors, I like colors all together and I personally train myself I have been in the gym pretty much all my life. I noticed that everybody, no matter what state I have been to, just wears solid [and] dark colors,” said Dream. “No personality, everybody just looks the same. I’m [going] to step out and try something a little different and see if it catches.”

Hudson County is trying to curb homelessness in its cities, and here’s how it’s been going..

Jersey City, which has the highest rate of homelessness in the county, has also been making an effort to increase the number of affordable housing units. Housing is considered affordable when a household spends no more than 30% of its income on rent, according to Jersey City’s government website. HUD defines the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for Jersey City.

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.
