I have a dream
I don't watch much in the way of Disney movies, but while I am a white man I doubt I would've thought twice about The Frog Princess. As CNN notes, she is black -- indeed, the "first black" Disney princess. And as CNN seems to think, we should notice this, and ponder its significance. Which is expressed in typically braindead fashion: "What do you think about Disney's newest princess?," they ask. "Is it important for princess-loving little girls to have icons who look like them?"
I think it's more important to have a media that thinks like the country it lives in. Which would mean not calling attention to all things race, all the time.
