“Snow White and Her Seven Friends”
Britain Sinking into the Sea, Political Correctness, Snow White
National Review reports a new landmark in political correctness has been hit in Britain.
De Monfort Hall in Leicester, England, has announced that there will be no dwarves in its Snow White Christmas pantomime because the word “dwarf†is too offensive. The production will be called “Snow White and her Seven Friends†and feature child actors as the “friends,†according to an article in the Leicester Mercury.
Despite the fact that that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been around for approximately 9 million years, a spokeswoman for the theater insisted to the Mercury that the word “dwarf†is “generally not a word that people feel comfortable with†and that the play had to be changed.
