Snow White and the Seven...umm...

A local theater troupe in the UK that wanted to perform Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for its annual Christmas pantomime found the show rewritten to exclude the dwarfs, according to the BBC.

The Coxheath Players in Kent say the publisher of the play, Jasper Publishing, had changed the dwarfs to gnomes in order to avoid offending short people.

In Monday's editions, The Sun newspaper quoted someone from the Restricted Growth Association as saying that the term dwarf has long been out of favor and is "unpleasant" to some of its members.

Well wouldn't the use of the term Snow White be offensive to those not of caucasian decent.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Good point.

OK, now we'll call it Mundane Grey and the Numerous Peoples of Varying Qualities, None Of Which Are Bad In Or Of Themselves, Yet Which Foster Our Celebration Of The Diversity Which Makes Us All Stronger As A Cohesive Unit.

Have you ever read Dragonlance? It all makes sense now. We've all become the gnomes that live in Mt. Nevermind.

Actually, I have read those.

I see nothing wrong with the alteration, and expect that they also change the witch into "well-meaning step-mom with underlying psychological problems". I mean, witch is such a degrading word, eh?

Perhaps both. They're a rather short-sighted group either way...

At this rate, I won't have enough left to make a decent sauce
