Was Princess Tiana Whitewashed In The New Wreck-It Ralph Trailer?
I can understand both the excitement and the criticism. Tiana was our first. And she meant a lot to us. So I understand why people want to take ownership over her image. Because it’s a representation of us. And images and representation are important. Not to mention light skin and loose, curly hair is a more acceptable Black, the one most often seen in television and film. Point is, with a history of exclusion, Disney has got to be more careful.
