Stealing is wrong = immoral and illegal Major studio giving story about a Chinese woman to a white guy = immoral but NOT illegal.

Point being "wrong for white dude to direct Mulan" is conclusion to an argument.

A white guy being told no will always always be read as "wow, look how restricted we are" by the most privileged group in the world

Just the director? What about the screenwriter? Cinematographer? Exactly which positions can white people fill?
