Disney has its first African American princess, Tiana, in the new interracial film set in New Orleans – “The princess and the frog” – which is to be released in December this year. However, like everything tagged interracial, controversy hasn’t escaped this one either. And it all revolves around the Black princess’ love interest Prince Naveen of Maldonia, a white man.
“It seems to cause some controversy that the princess falls in love with a white prince in the movie”, says Brown, Bang Media. Apparently people are questioning the racist nature of Disney and feel they should have let a Black man be Prince too.
Who said Disney’s first Black princess must have a matching Black prince? I thought people would applaud interracial love since its breaking down segregation. In my opinion, the demand for Disney’s leading couple to be Black is what’s racist.
Do you think there is any real substance to this controversy?
Mike, what you should have said was “I bet these is not one person on here ignorant enough to agree with me”. I don’t think you’re a bad person, but living in a backwater racist rebel state has brainwashed you. First of all, anthropologists learned over a century ago that no one on earth is of a pure race. Not only is it incorrect to classify by racew by skin color, it is absurd to classify races by nationality as you do. Secondly, scientists are now beginning to acknowledge that defining a race by skin color is barking up the worng tree, and that there is actually no such thing as biological races. It is a scientific fact there there is only one race of humans on earth, and that’s the human race. For further clarification, read “The Race Myth” by Joseph Graves who is one of the world’s leading evolutionary biologists.
Race does exist as a social construct, but the more mixing there is, the closer we’ll get back to the way we were originally…and that’s a good thing! Besides, I’m proud to be an American, and one of the things America stands for is freedom of choice. I love my Afro girls and you are infringing upon my right to love anyone who appeals to me.
In summary, you respect people and their differences but fail to see that there are no significant differences…and I will agree that we should produce after our own kind of race when you see that we are all of the human race.
