But Tiger Lily being a problematic character isn’t an excuse to cast a non-Native American actress. Rather, it’s the same as it was with The Lone Ranger: The key to bringing a racial caricature forward to the modern day isn’t to disregard that person’s race but to change the character so they’re not a racial caricature. Jesus Christ. It’s not that hard. There’s something to be said for “loyalty to source material,” but *early 1900s racism is not one of the things you need to keep.*

Before you think you’ve really gotten someone good by asking why Rooney Mara shouldn’t play Tiger Lily if Michael B. Jordan can play Johnny Storm and Quvenzhane Wallis can play Annie, ask yourself:

"Am I really calling whiteness as fundamental to being a superhero or a heartwarming orphan as being Native is to being a Native princess?"

Like, really think long and hard about whether that’s a good idea.

* And yeah, everything about the depiction of Native people in Peter Pan is insanely racist no matter what, but that’s no reason to make it worse.
