Everyone was, including Disney execs after it barely broke even.

Agreed. My idea is to make them Irish, who were treated horribly when arriving in America, and focus on a main female character named Ciara being subjected to sexism, racism and abuse in the South. And change the title to The Color Green.

Not a bad idea.

Agreed. And if someone would complain about it (which is very unlikely), I would say: Seriously? A bunch of grown men, freaking out over... A MUSICAL BASED ON A WORK OF FICTION ABOUT SOME STUFF THAT HAPPENED 200 YEARS AGO!!!

If you're trying to claim that you know nothing about the book or film, and want to convince everyone here that your opinion is irrelevant, then you succeeded. The Color purple is set in the early 1900's, not 200 years ago. You didn't actually watch any of the films, did you.

How long were White's portraying POC back then? Now that POC are taking White roles, is there a timeline on when it will switch back or is this said and done and that it's only POC going forward?
