Live action Mulan is an excellent example of why diversity in front of AND behind the camera is important. They wanted to tell a story set in China and deeply tied into Chinese culture and history...and got 4 white people to write it and a white woman to direct it.

They didn't whitewash the cast, thank you.

But they whitewashed the crew and the story itself and how it is told.

This is after live action Aladdin was directed by a white guy and written by only white guys just the year before.

Disney has ZERO interest in real diversity or representation, they just want the thin veneer of representation, in front of the camera.

And please don't just take it from me. Here's an excellent thread breaking down a lot of ways Mulan fucked up that almost certainly wouldn't have happened if they had hired Chinese writers and listened to the cultural/historical experts they presumably had https://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1302352476465590272
