Now they are making a Disney movie out of it and that hinders black talented kids to be able to get the lead role, in which i think would be most fitting if it was a black girl...! This needs to stop, Disney needs more BLACK movie stars.... just because Disney has 1 full black girl (China Anne) does not mean it should stop there! This should be highly considered and many people feel the same way! And I am not being racist but just stating the obvious....
