Carlisle was the 16th century son of a Protestant preacher, Esme was an abused wife from Columbus, Ohio, Alice is from Biloxi, Mississippi, Jasper is from 19th century Houston, Texas, Edward was the son of a lawyer from Chicago in the 1910s, and Emmett is from Tennessee from a large Scotch-Irish family.

The Cullens are white asf and the fact that Hardwicke thought she could get away with telling Stephenie Meyer herself, of all people, that the Cullens should be cast as different ethnicities despite their canon appearance and backstories, speaks volumes as to her understanding of the story. Volumes.

#twilight #twilight meta #not to mention that it colorwashws the cullens’ prejudice against the native american werewolves #was hardwicke really going to have a black-and-brown cullen family hate on the quileuetes?????#…ngl that would have been pretty cool and fresh #but ofc the optics would have been bad even at the time #also imagine the ethnic cullens settling in white-ass forks #hilarious #bella and charlie are working vlass whites but they have a relative who married native #so maybe she could have gotten away with colorwashing the swans lol
