Yara Shahidi has reportedly been cast as Tinkerbell in Disney's upcoming live-action Peter Pan remake - and yes, people are already tweeting about the race of a pixie.
Shahidi - who is perhaps best known for her role as Zoey Johnson on the sitcom Black-ish and its spin-off Grown-ish - is the first person of color to play the role of the fairy and Disney icon, who has always been portrayed as having white skin.
The casting choice was announced by Deadline on September 25, and in less than 24 hours, Twitter has already blown up after hearing the news.
Many people were overjoyed at the announcement, with one Twitter user writing: "Congratulations to Yara Shahidi who will play Tinkerbell in a live action Peter Pan. She will be amazing."
However - just like when Halle Bailey was cast as Ariel (a fictional mermaid) in the upcoming Little Mermaid remake - there have been some people who just cannot handle the fact that a non-white person will be playing Tinkerbell.
Yes, despite the fact Tinkerbell is a completely fictional six-inch tall fairy that can fly and sprinkle pixie dust, people just cannot fathom seeing the Disney mascot portrayed by a black woman.
Similar to the concerning "#NotMyAriel" social media hashtag, many people soon starting protesting Shahidi's casting with the hashtag "#NotMyTinkerbell":
One Twitter user even branded the casting choice as a "stunt":
Another person wrote: "Tinkerbell isn't black. Why wouldn't they make a new fairy that is black."
Just wait until these guys find out Shahidi isn't 10 centimeters tall either...
Director David Lowery will take the helm for the upcoming movie - titled 'Peter Pan and Wendy' - and Shahidi will join Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, Ever Anderson as Wendy, and Jude Law as Captain Hook.
And if the skin color of a fictional fairy bothers you, Twitter user Mayeezy_ shared a wonderfully written reason why it shouldn't, and how casting a white person as a black character is not the same.
They wrote: The way most black characters are written, their race becomes culturally relevant. The way a 'white' character like Tinkerbell (a fairy) was written, her race is not culturally relevant and can be portrayed by any race. It’s not difficult to reason it out."
