Don Jr. Launches Really Gross Attack on Actor Peter Dinklage Over ‘Dwarf Jokes’
For anyone who hasn’t heard, Disney is doing a remake of Snow White, but not everyone is happy with it, such as the actor Peter Dinklage who called the new film “f***ing backward.” As a guest star on a podcast, he discussed why he believes that Disney is reinforcing damaging stereotypes about dwarfism and why they are ignoring that issue while addressing many other forms of prejudice.
Dinklage had a few strong words to say about the remake: “You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f***ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the f*** are you doing man?” Disney’s response to the question was to say that they “are consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” but Donald Trump Jr.’s response was a little less understanding.
The New York Post wrote a story called “Disney rethinking Snow White after Peter Dinklage calls out use of dwarves,” which Don Jr. reposted with a few strong words of his own. His tweet read, “Lol… This is getting so ridiculous. Also, it seems he was fine with the dwarf jokes in GOT.”
LOL… this is getting so ridiculous.
Also, it seems he was fine with the dwarf jokes in GOT. I guess it’s all good as long as you’re getting paid?

The response to Don Jr.’s tweet was overwhelmingly people defending Dinklage and the point he was making when it comes to Disney’s new remake. One Twitter user pointed out, “You obviously did not read the article and don’t understand the title of the film.” Dinklage also discussed how Disney cast a Latina actor as Snow White, but their progressiveness did not extend to the use of dwarves in the film.
Dinklage commented, “I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. You’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Disney’s exact reply was that “To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.”
As expected, Twitter quickly called Don Jr. out:

Being raised by your dad sucked. Drinking to excess in college to the point you pissed yourself all the time. Having your peers see Daddy slap you around. Nothing has changed. You will be thrown under the bus. Get high. Enjoy your gold digging, lap dancing shrill. Just STFU.
