  • Yeh ffs I hate this kind of prodding by self proclaimed social justice warriors in a context where it has no sense whatsoever. It makes them look stupid, and diminishes the issue in places where it actually is an issue.

    Mikklesen response:

    “Well, first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. We do have a big plotline about a girl of color who is being subjected to racism, which was very rare, any people of color in Denmark… almost nobody. She was probably at the time the only one in the entire country of Denmark.””

    Diversity shouldn’t be a pre-requisite for a story.

    It takes place in 2023 New York? Cool, there should be diversity.

    It takes place in, say, 1450 Saigon? Diversity would look artificial and out of place.
