Notice how each of those princesses of color only have one example in the line-up.
One Asian. One Native American. One Black. Etc.
Yet we still have a bunch who are white. And have you ever noticed how the blue eyed blondes are the ones always represented on the covers of any merchandise you find at your local store?
No matter how you slice it, it's still tokenism. Having one solid example of other kinds of people and then going 'Welp, we're done here, time for more white people' is not something to be proud of. That's not progress. It's the same shit that's been happening for decades up to the present day.
Ariel shouldn't be skipped as an example because she's still white from the waist up, and the fact the first Black princess spends most of the movie as a frog shouldn't be overlooked.
Lastly...you honestly put Nala in the line-up as an example for racial diversity? Please tell me you're smoking something. Because that has really bad implications, whether or not that was your intention.
What a headache.
