Disney forced to redraw first black princess after campaigners claimed she was whitewashed

Princess Tiana became the company’s first black princess when she was created for The Princess and The Frog nine years ago.
quote:
But fans awaiting the release of her new movie Wreck It Ralph 2 noticed her skin was lighter and her hair was straighter in the film’s trailer.
Anti-racism charity Color of Change immediately set up a petition and contacted Disney regarding her new look.
quote:
It said the new depiction was “unacceptable” and accused Disney of “not caring” about the “diversity of the Black community”.
quote:
Their official petition read: “The whitewashed image of Tiana you created for your new film, Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, is unacceptable.
“You have removed Princess Tiana's full lips, wide nose, dark skin and kinky hair and replaced them with Eurocentric features — a slimmer nose, loose curly hair and significantly lighter skin tone.
“These characteristics are a huge part of who Princess Tiana is and what makes her beautiful.
“Princess Tiana is a pivotal Disney character, and it is irresponsible of you to change her appearance considering all of the young Black girls and boys who watch and love Princess Tiana.
quote:
“Now when Black girls watch #WreckItRalph2, they’ll see Tiana and other princess of color that actually looks like them on screen #BlackGirlMagic."

One of the most powerful companies in the world isn’t “forced” to do anything

I kind of see their point. It's weird to change the look from the original one.
