Last week, actor Peter Dinklage—best known for his role on Game of Thrones—appeared on the podcast WTF with Marc Maron. 

Dinklage talked about a lot: the evolution of his career, mainstream success, and his new film Cyrano. But there was one particular moment that got people’s attention:

They’re very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White but you’re still telling a story of Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way but still making ****ing backward story of seven dwarves living in a cave. What the **** ya doing man?

Dinklage, who has dwarfism, was calling out Disney’s decision to make a live action adaptation of Snow White. Since his criticism, Disney has said it would be reimagining the dwarf characters in the fairytale. Now, this is not the first time Hollywood has misfired when it comes to its portrayal of the dwarfism community. For decades, the entertainment industry has perpetuated harmful stereotypes about people with dwarfism.
