Make a show about Alexandre Dumas’ life, cowards!

Or his dad! His father had a wild career that helped inspire Alexandre's writing for The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. The man was sold into slavery by his own father (Thomas was the child of a French aristocrat and his Haitian slave) before being bought back and sent to France where he was then treated as an aristocrat. He later went into the military where he was promoted to a General with over 50k troops under him. Later, he was held prisoner for two years after a shipwreck trapped him in Italy and he unfortunately died young after Napoleon took over and passed a bunch of laws that restored slavery and made the integrated schools and mixed race marriages illegal again.

You’re presuming Disney actually care about representation of minorities.
They do not. Nor do the makers of Rings of Power, or Sandman, or House of the Dragon, or Enola Holmes, or X, Y, Z.
