Huh, that’s weird. But the amount of body hair people have varies quite a bit. Myself, I literally have less hair on my chest than she has on her back, and no noticable hair on my back at all. My best friend from high school, though, made Robin Williams look hairless. Either way I doubt that will be the factor on which the movie sinks or swims. ---

You might be hairless. Have all women you have met been hairless except for the top of their head and eyebrows? Same for men. ---

Racism. Snow White is not white. The pic I posted was a woman (Snow White actress) having hair on her back. As if that means she’s not Snow White enough. ---

Do white women have less hair than women with other skin colors? That would surprise me. The may be some people who avoid it due to racism, but i doubt that will be related to the actress having some peach fuzz. As for me, I’m probably not going to see the movie because i never liked the original that much, and unless it gets super reviews, i can’t imagine I’d enjoy the remake, either. ---

My experience is they all have some peach fuzz. Some it is blond, some it is dark color. But that’s the point of the pic I posted. Anyone who has been close (probably intimate) with a woman would know this. They are not hairless. Someone was trying to say the Snow White actress is faulty because she has hair on her back. I am surprised so many here find this difficult to get. ---

> [@Whack-a-Mole](#): > > I have not examined all women. My experience is they all have some peach fuzz. Nor have i, but i am pretty close to hairless. I used to have some thin hair on my arms and legs, but the last time i wanted to test the blade on my working knife, i couldn’t find enough hair to try to shave. I’ve never had hair on my back or chest. Not even fuzz. My son’s ex had no fuzz, either, at least on parts that show while wearing a bathing suit. She was Black. People may be upset that the actress has fuzz. But i think that’s a different hangup than being upset that she’s not white. Also, i think it’s become fashionable for models and actresses to wax. ---

We had this book as kids, featuring an unpleasant dwarf and also a different Snow White: > **[Google Image Result for...](https://images.app.goo.gl/Xwxf)** Ah well I was hoping that would embed. It’s called Snow White and Rose Red, and the cover shows them encountering an angry dwarf with his beard caught in a log. (Somewhat reminiscent of Runplestiltskin). ---

> [@Biffster](#): > > Maybe she’s symbolically white . Anyway, they’re no actual white people anyway, unless you count mimes. Well, my wife is nordic and is pretty damn white- with maybe a little pink (she cant tan, just a few freckles) . But Snow white had black hair- not blonde . So, she wasnt that pale nordic type anyway. And most black people arent black colored either! 😇 I have no issues with her playing Snow White. ---

I just watched a review of the movie saying there’s both 7 Dwarves and also 7 Bandits characters so the 7 Bandits might have been the characters seen in the above news story. Also the review brings up that the 7 Bandits characters seem completely unnecessary and may have been the original vision for the film before Disney panicked and added the actual 7 Dwarves due to bad press, which tied into what we’ve already been talking about Disney changing it at some point. ---
