This version of Tiana would appeal to lighter skinned and mixed race black girls. WHAT ABOUT THEM?!

If anything, wouldn’t this new look show more of the diversity amongst the black community?

Ironic that the anti racism group is the most racist party in this matter.

And if they would have drawn her looking more like real life Serena Williams they would be called racists for making a caricature of Black people and being insensitive.

I do not know why Disney felt the need to make pretty drastic changes to the character.

As a man who sits through "The Princess and the Frog" weekly if you showed me that picture with no context, I would have just assumed it was a new and different character. She doesn't look like Tiana.

I don't think it has anything to do with racist motivations, probably just trying to make her more appealing to a wider set of people. I don't agree with the changes, but it is what it is. It's pretty clear they whitewashed her though.

ETA:

That said, my wife just disagreed and thinks it was fine. Seems we have flipped sides on this one.

I literally thought "boom" when I saw this.

Such a perfect example. Last week, kinky hair, full lips and dark skin was UNBELIEVABLY racist. Now it is SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE to not have these things.

Goalposts are moving LITERALLY every week.

Can I still say goalposts? How long before that means I am a racist?

They literally complain about everything, even when Whitey is dumb enough to pander to them.


LOL, the other races have to laugh at them, and laugh even harder at how stupid whitey is for pandering 2 them, no matter how ungrateful they are.

Kind of like Beyoncé did?
