Of course the irony there is under the writers logic it would have to be "from now only black princesses" because even if you made three in a row and then changed it she would probably say that it was rasict because there had already been SO MANY white princesses.

I always wondered what's wrong with princesses anyway? What the heck is with the anti-princess backlash I've noticed. I've seen it targeted at all kinds of Characters.
From disney princesses, to Zelda, to Princess Peach! Apparently being a princess is to "feminine" and thus to "weak".

I'm a guy so apparently my opinion on the subject is less than important but I always felt as long as a character is well written then their gender is completely meaningless. I don't buy into the whole Heroine's "for girls" and Hero's for guys crap (although sometimes it seems like nobody cares if boys have good rolemodels anyway)! Some of my most looked up to characters are female, and not just because I think they are "attractive". Hell I could make a list of my rolemodels... Why can't characters just be characters... crap I think I'm off topic...
