Over representation of black characters in Disney movies? There's been ONE black princess in their history.


So statistically speaking, Disney is underrepresenting black princesses?

Please remove this comment with statistics that don’t support the “white people are being victimized again” narrative. I like to feel persecuted.

How am I going to explain to my kids that mermaid princesses can be black?

It's not like the Disney version is the original. The animated Disney movie is drastically different than the Hans Christian Andersen story. So I've got no issue with yet another version.

I think Amber Heard should play Rosa Parks.


Maybe Chris Pratt as MLK.

There is a bit of false equivalence when comparing the fictional character of a fairy tale to people that have actually lived.

Disney princesses listed cartoon race

Snow White-white
Cinderella-white
Aurora-white
Ariel-white
Belle-white
Jasmine-middle eastern
Pocahontas-native American
Mulan-chineese
Tiana-black
Rapunzel-white
Merida-white
Moana-pacific islander

So if you change Ariel to black, that means 16% of the Disney princesses will be black, 50% white, 34% other minorities

American population is

59% white
13% black
28% other minority


Seems pretty close

Can someone please give me a compelling reason on why you think it's wrong for the chacater in the kids movie to be black?


I will let you know when Disney stars some west bank white trash as tiana in the live action remake.

Yall are so sad. You make things up to be angry at in your lives. I have never wanted the vaccine forced on a single person. Everyone should have their choice to refuse. Which is why my own freaking children aren’t vaccinated

Nothing. What wrong with her being black? If they opens up auditions and the best actress won the part who cares. Ariel isn’t a historical figure. Her race is meaningless

If they chose her simply because she is black, that’s wrong

Disney executives jerk it to ESG powerpoints. There is 1,000,000% a distinct agenda in all of Disney's decision. It's cost them dearly. But...it's not about the money. It's about righting all the wrongs...they've been told are wrong.

Guarantee they won't remake Song of The South with female rappers. That takes balls.

Yes and I think Keanu is awesome

Keep characters what they were created as, regardless of race/gender
