Disney Needs More POC in Ther Movies

Me: 'How can you blame Disney for not having more 'POC' when Disney already provides ample quantities of multi-cultural content? 'My opponent: Examples? You say this but you don't give a single example.Response: Check my round 2. I've listed numerous Disney productions, such as the Lion King, Hercules, Mulan, the Jungle Book, Tarzan, etc. Each of them focuses on characters of different nationalities. Perhaps you missed them?My opponent: I say Disney is getting boring because it fails to do anything new with it's fairy tales. Yes, it takes them and makes them kid friendly. They also change how the story may end and the villain. But it is usually the same, taking place in olden times. That is what Princess and the Frog was such a breathe of fresh air. It took an old concept and made it more modern. It was still a great Disney movie despite the setting being 1920's New Orleans.Response: What does this have to do with having more POC as you originally posited? This position is irrelevant to the resolution and will be considered a concession. 5 points for Slytherin!!!!My opponent: As for your example with Beauty and the Beast, I really don't think you're getting it. Do you honestly think someone would complain about taking a story that took place in France and setting in Japan? May cultures have the same story tales, just told slightly different. A popular example would be the Chinese Cinderella.Response: Correct, I'm not getting what your trying to say. Relate it back to the resolution and maybe help me out a little (I mean, story taking place in France set in Japan? That's like saying people currently in Paris are walking around Japan, that's logically impossible.) What about Chinese Cinderella? I've admitted to the existence of the numerous adaptations of fairy tales via Beauty and the Beast as an example, and my argument was based on this particular example. On the other hand, how is this significant in terms of Disney needing to cast more POC? I suggest you respond to my point about the inherent discrimination of intentionally evicting content non POC culture in favor of those with POC.My opponent: You are right. Disney is an AMERICAN company and America happens to be a melting pot filled with different people. Therefore, it's somewhat unfair that only 4 of the 13 Disney princesses are POC.Response: I'm glad you've conceded my point, but am sad that you ignored some of my content such as my reference to Disney's not needing the good you're claiming Disney will get from casting more works with POC than it currently has. You told us in round 3 that the purpose of this resolution, the reason Disney needs to cast more POC, in other words, is to 'make Disney better'. This would mean Disney doesn't need to change anything. It is fine the way it is as per my second point in round 3. Do you deny what you've explicitly declared to be the contending point of this resolution?Another point I'd like to bring up refers to the number you are throwing around carelessly, these 9 of 13 white princesses or, in other words, the 4 of 13 Princesses of Color. What adverse effects is Disney (or even society as a whole) facing by not having those one or two extra princesses? Before you contend further, it is absolutely imperative you establish that Disney needs to cast more POC. It is a very important facet for your side of this resolution, and is something you have yet to do.My opponent: You applaud Disney but you seem to forget that in the past they were also creators of some racist material. Granted, they have come a long way but I still think they have more work too do. The world is filled with so many cultures and stories that they could use. I feel like they need to focus on those stories instead and give Europe a break. It would just be nice to see them try at least.Response: What I am getting from this is that past-Disney needs to cast more POC. Since when were we talking about past-Disney? By 'more work to do' I assume you mean 'cast more POC'? But you've yet to prove why casting more POC is a necessity for Disney. As I've already established, Disney is peaking year after year after year. Sure, the world is filled with many cultures, hundreds even. Does it mean Disney's job is to cast these cultures into the cinema? Again, let's revisit the fact that you are supporting your side of the resolution for the Disney's sake, does Disney really need more POC? It's doing absolutely fantastic the way it currently is. It's earning hundreds of billions and is appealing to worldwide audiences. (and to your little nitpicky point about U.S. being diverse, here's my nitpicky point - 78% of the U.S. is white[1], ignore that if you'd like, you've already ignored most of my arguments anyway).What I'm saying is this: Disney has enough POC to fulfill it's quota of spreading the multi-cultural message. It has enough POC to attract audiences and patrons from all over the world. It has enough POC such that calling it racist or discriminatory would be nothing more than a false accusation. It has enough POC such that it doesn't need more POC.So back to the central question: why is it that Disney needs more POC?[1]http://www.census.gov...
