Someone called me racist for not wanting more white
princesses.

First of all, there are nine white Disney princesses and they
are EVERYWHERE. On T-shirts, on dresses, I’ve even seen them on hairbrushes.
But if you want something with Tiana or Jasmine on it, good luck! It’s
extremely rare to find anything featuring the princesses of color on it. And if
you do, there is a huge chance it’s whitewashed. Like I managed to find a
sticker of Mulan once and I would have bought it but she was completely
whitewashed.

Secondly, animation has no shortage of white protagonists.  We don’t really need a lot more. White
children are already represented in media so why not give children of color of
chance? We need more black kids in animation as well as Asian, Hispanic, Native
American and more. We don’t need thousands of animated movies focusing on a
white people. There are other stories to tell.
