The controversy has intensified after it was revealed that the film would be set in New Orleans and that Tiana would find love with a white prince — well, almost. His skin has been described as olive-toned and he will be voiced by [redacted for purposes of negating ego-google], a Brazilian actor
“What? No black prince? What’s up with this?” blogged [redacted for purposes of negating ego-google], an anti-racism Web site, in a posting typical of the general disbelief among the film’s most vocal black critics. “Perhaps Disney doesn’t want the future mothers of dwindling white America being imprinted so early in their lives with the notion of a black suitor.”
Another blogger, [redacted for purposes of negating ego-google], attracted nearly 3,000 comments on the [redacted for purposes of negating ego-google] Web site when she complained that “even though there is a real-life black man in the highest office in the land with a black wife, Disney obviously doesn’t think a black man is worthy of the title of prince."
Soooo... furthering the segregation of relationships is actually PC now, right? Why do these people have their panties in a bunch over a black princess falling for a brown prince?
Imagine the furor if the "prince" was white! My g-d! The horror of a black dating or even MARRYING a non-black person. It's soooo disgusting! Right? RIGHT?!
The ..... bullshit of this is incredibly hypocritical. Why is it so important a black character fall for a black character? Keeping people in their racial places?
Maybe Disney should just re-release all of their past movies with the skin tones adjusted to represent "blacks." Maybe that would make them happy. After all, it's what they do with Barbie and the like - just adjust the skin.
