Sweetie.. Politically Correct is a term... it has nothing to do with politics. ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/politically%20correct <- definition)

I never at all said that I hope they don't cast Pan as an Asian. I said "Sorry, but I hate the idea of making someone a certain race simply to show racial diversity... They did that with Roger's and Hamerstein's Cinderella when Whitney Houston produced it and it was laughable.

''Mulan is Asian. She's supposed to be. In no representation ever was Peter Pan considered anything but a blond/red headed with blue eyes. Changing his race just to be politically correct is mind numbing."''

I'm not sure why you're continuing to argue with me on this when I've already said in just about every post that I don't have a problem with a racially diverse cast. I just don't see the point in changing a characters race SOULY to show racial diversity... As I said before - if there's no purpose, other than to show "Hey look! We've got every race there is on our show! Let's get the checklist out and mark them off" then it loses quality, all together. Not just the quality of the acting, but QUALITY of the show, itself.

The original poster stated, specifically, that they would like to see an Asian Peter Pan to to make the show more racial diverse (direct quote) - ergo... the argument of NOT casting based on political correctness (Again - casting JUST for the sake of showing racial diversity). No one is suggesting that no one other than a white kid can play Peter Pan... but it doesn't make sense to cast an Asian, just to check off another Asian actor. That's just insulting to any race - it's insulting to the actor picked for that specific reason. And THAT is what I have been saying, the entire time...
