A tale as old as time: Racist fans don't want Black people in fantasy realms and Whoopi Goldberg is sick of it!
"I want to start by saying: These are not real," Whoopi said on the panel."There are no dragons, there are no hobbits.""And there are critics who are saying they were too woke by adding — yes — diverse characters. Are you telling me Black people can't be fake people, too?"Whoopi then wondered if these extreme fandoms would lead protests because of the diverse casts.
"I don't want to upset any mermaids who are watching the show, because I know there are many communities of mermaids of various colors. There are violet mermaids, there are pink mermaids, there are Black mermaids, there are Latina mermaids, there are mermaids of every ilk."Whoopi reminded viewers that seeing mythical creatures of different races and backgrounds is important, because it's what people want.
