Disney’s Snow White
Snow Whitehas had a tough path to release.
Unfortunately,it seems that some Disney audiences are still not able to accept race-blind casting.
The controversy did not stop there.
Stars Zegler and Gal Gadot have been under fire for their pro-Palestine and pro-Israel political stances, respectively.
