Why is it that people are making such a big deal about the black princess in the upcoming Disney movie falling in love with a non-black prince?
You didn't hear Native Americans complaining about Pocahontas choosing a white guy...Having a mixed couple on the screen is supposed to promote looking beyond skin color and judging by the content of one's character, yet people are making it all about race by shouting angrily at Disney and proclaiming that 'Disney just won't let a prince be black'. Doesn't anyone else see irony in this? To me, it's almost like proclaiming Disney is racist, while calling for promotion of self-segregation and avoidance of interracial dating.
Do you think people are right to be angry? Or do you think they are overreacting and tearing apart a movie that is just meant to be lighthearted and fun?
