Angry Disney fans create ethnic princesses as latest film features 'generic' white female

Disney's newest Caucasian female lead has been given an ethnic makeover by critics angered by her 'generic' appearance.

Elsa the Snow Queen, who stars in this fall's fantasy-comedy animation Frozen, sports porcelain skin, long blonde hair, glassy blue eyes and a Princess-like sparkling gown.

But in a bid to highlight Disney's lack of racial diversity Tumblr users have re-imagined the character as Tibetan, Mongolian, black and Inuit under the url and hashtag "This Could Have Been Frozen".

Rachel McGuffin decided to redesign the Frozen film poster to show Elsa with dark skin.

She explained: 'I was feeling rather hopeless about Disney’s whitewashing the past Princesses so I went ahead an racebent their future white characters.'....

Commenting on the collection of artwork, le-frenchzombie wrote that the 'objective of this project is to raise awareness at the lack of representation of different cultures in Disney movies, or just animated movies in general.'

He continued: 'Obviously since the 90s Disney has given numerous characters of colour and introduced stories that represent different countries and cultures, but the majority of their movies are still very European or American based.'

How can Elsa be a Snow Queen and not be white? Perhaps her title should be changed to Mud Queen or Soot Queen.

Every one chant with me... We want Rachel Jeantel, we want Rachel Jeantel... :o)

Perhaps these PC creeps would be happy if Disney re-released Song of the South?

[Boogieman]

Yep. But the stereotyped Swede from the Chilly Willy cartoons is A-Okay, for some strange reason. Hmmm... why is that I wonder?

[Boogieman]

There’s a place for her in the Disneyverse. Cinderella needs a new pumpkin wagon to take her to the ball!

Ever watch the Winter Olympics? Not a great deal of diversity there. Snow and ice usually means Caucasian

Brian Gumbel said the Winter Olympics weren't "real sports"

What an Di*k!!

[RedMonqey]

Their idea of responding to “diversity concerns” is usually to throw a goofy minority character into a show or movie even if there is no apparent reason for them to be there.

Hence the totally idiotic and racist "General" Jar-Jar Binx in the Star Wars Series...

"We'sah free!"

[RedMonqey]

Perhaps her title should be changed to Mud Queen or Soot Queen.

Or the "Slush" Queen in keeping with the Winter weather motif....

[PA Engineer]

Nah. This is more realistic.

[Boogieman]

Yup, that was “bomb-BAD”!

[Bratch]

DC Comics knew how to fix this type of thing.

Plenty of snow in China and Japan.

Some black people went to live in the very snowy areas but predators found they were very easy to spot in the snow so they ate all the black folks.

My story makes more sense than these idiot anti-cracker racists do.

And here I thought that mohammadens were the only ones that got upset over cartoons.

“You ever see “SuperWHY”? I swear the only white character on there is the pig.”

No, I don’t know what that is.

[cardinal4]

Racebent?

Seen somewhere on the Twitter....

“If he [Zimmermann] get off, ima kill me a white boi.”

As of a few months ago, Song of the South was available on youtube. Told my kid (12) that a lot of people consider it to be racist, then we watched it together. She’s still puzzled that anyone could think that movie racist!

[don-o]

It’s the same mindset that make Uncle Tom into a figure of scorn and derision.
