Critics are claiming it is “woke” after the casting of Zegler in the role because of her Colombian heritage. However, this is the wrong hill to die on, and nothing about her casting should be deemed “woke” or politically correct. While half Colombian, Zegler is also half Polish — a living embodiment of the northern European roots of the Snow White character. Objectively, she’s a great choice, and anyone criticizing the casting is foolish.
