"Twitter is buzzing about the possibility that Jenna Ushkowitz, former Broadway star, and star of Glee will be playing the heroine of Disney's newest live action project, Mulan.
Studios have developed a reputation for 'whitewashing' their casts, replacing characters of ethnic descent with more popular white actors. Disney had itself received significant negative attention for this over the years, not the least of which is a petition signed by over 70,000 people demanding that they respect the cultural heritage of the stories they tell.
Among the potential talent for Mulan, virtually none possesses the combination of star quality, relevant age, musical talent, and beauty Disney would need for its lead. It's unsurprising that fans are rallying behind Ushkowitz who, thanks to her long tenure as Tina Cohen-Chang on Glee, has significant credibility with this film's target audience."
