All we wish is for her NOT to be someone's MAID, nor for her either to be:
1. The daughter of someone who is in jail, or a drug addict,
2. A recovering drug addict, herself.

Much like all of the WHITE princesses, to which we have been forever exposed, she should be someone to whom our girl children can look up, and wish -- SAFELY -- to become, or to emuate.

You've done all of these things to your white princesses,and without having been DEMANDED to out of simple decency, why not to ours?

Uh...Cinderella was someone's "maid", as was "Snow White"...on a whole - most princess stories have the same elements... beautiful girl, used as slave labor, kept prisoner, etc.. rescued by a prince.

Black people come in all beautiful shades,with all types of beautiful hair textures. But when you are racist you will continue to see distortions through ignorant and jealous eyes. Just tell the truth and show Blacks as you would show yourselves, without racism, and there will be no complaints. Disney should be ashamed of themselves. Just look at their history of so called depiction of any ethnic group besides white people and you will see. You people who are continously obsessed Black people and make immature racist comments about everything should take a look at yourselves and get educated about the world that you know nothing about. Racism is perpetuated by ignorance, jealousy,greed and no self love.

What "these people" are you talking about? Are you talking about the writers or are you talking about African Americans. You need to clarify yourself. If the movie being made is not realistic, then the population that you are trying to reach is not going to watch this.

ninainindia, truer word were never spoken!

In my opinion, this is all being blown out of preportion. I may still be young but i've seen my fair share of disney movies, and the fact is, is that these movies were not made to be racist or anything like that. They were made for children to watch and to cherish. They were not made to be judged racially or sexually or anything else. They were made with children in mind, not adults. Any person on here that is taking this to seriously needs to lighten up and look at it from a child's perspective.

I agree with you... Someone will always have something to complain about, No matter what. I am Cherokee and the part where they call the native american the Red Man... Well we a the Red Man. I am not offended by that or the fact that they call us Indians. So What!!!! Get Over it and get a life, I say. The thing is... We are all human and I treat everyone the same. Shut up and TRY to enjoy the show for the REAL meaning that it has.

Hey can someone wake up the Dwarves of the world!!! I think they need to get on here and complain about how they were depicted in the Snow White movie......

How about we get blacks to consult for the Disney movie about the black princess ? That will take forever or probably not be made at all I think because even blacks can't agree on what is "stereotypical" and what is "too white-washed."

U R correct, there will be complaints NO matter what. AHhh so sick of the cry babies. I want White History month, and so on and so on.

I overlooked all these nuances......you are so right

Think about this...Disney can create as many White 'maids' as they want, and nobody complains...but once they create a Black 'maid', suddenly it's looked upon as racism. Aren't the White characters also quite stereotypical? Just think about it...who's really being racist here?

None of the Disney movies made are "realistic". They include talking animals and people who talk to the animals. Children are not interested in what the character looks like, they just want to see a happy ending. I don't understand how parents and people can turn something so innocent as a Disney movie into a racist argument. Are children are suffering from the ignorance of their parents and critics.

I think that movies are meant to be 'entertainment' and it's all in the interpretation for each of us. We have the decision as to whether it offends us or not and whether to see it. Period.

I am sick of everything being about race and worried about whether it is PC or not. I am a mix of nationalities - Cherokee Indian, Irish, French, and many more. If I sat back and over-analyzed everything and took offense to how it portrays this race or that in a cartoon, I'd be in a padded room somewhere already.

So, entertain yourselves America and quit complaining. Just like books and other reading material, you aren't going to like everything that is thrown your way. Just move on...?

"These people" you say? Perhaps part of the difficulty "these people" are having is that YOU and others like you are grouping them into one category based on color of skin or ethnicity instead of seeing them each as individuals. That would be a great basis on which to build, don't you think?

When you turn black and walk in black peoples shoes, then you can make a comment like that...until then, you will never know. Do not try to guess what people feel inside, unless you have been there and done that.

Let us not forget that the "white" princess Cinderella was also someone's maid.....

Apparently you have never seen Uncle Remus or the crows in "Dumbo" ... how about the Indians (native americans) in Peter Pan? Check things out before you comment and take the blinders off your eyes.

How come when we were young ' Leaders of the 21st century', according to Uncle Walt, you couldn't even count on one finger the number of Mouseketeers of color or racial diversity? Zippidy DooDah won an Oscar for song of the year in the movie 'Song of the South', and even that melody was sung by big-lipped black crows. Why? Where does it end? Cinderella wasn't the maid. She was the step daughter.
