    I think I’m lost, can you elaborate on how is Snowwhite a racist fairytale?

      It’s based on the 19th century Northern European standard of beauty that paler (fair) skin is more beautiful. The source of the Evil Queen’s jealousy is that Snow White is whitest and therefore most beautiful of them all. The Queen hires a murderer to cut out Snow White’s heart because the Queen is only the second most whitest woman in all the land.
