She honestly comes across as more racist than anything. Like for example she basically says she needs to be the same race as the characters to "relate" to them. Why is race the only thing she cares about when talking about relating to someone? Also so many people complain about not being enough poc in film and media in general, but most people in this country are white. Most people in this country that make movies and books are white. Then when a white person tries to be inclusive she instantly says it was wrong? I mean for Moana they went above and beyond and just because it was two white guys that made the movie she basically implies it still wasn't enough. I also never got the whole empowerment thing or relating thing. I've never really felt impowered because of a fictional character, and if I ever did, it wouldn't be the color of the skin that empowered me. Yeah honestly just feel she is racist.
