I am Asian (not Chinese). I didn't want to reveal my ethnicity because I didn't want people to think Mulan was my favorite because she was Asian. Because truly, her race has nothing to do with why I love her. Yes, maybe those are the reasons why we are alike or why I find her so beautiful. But in real life, I can assure you I don't have a preference with Asian people, for example I hate when someone is so proud of their race that they have to make hateful comments about the other races. I watched a ''documentary'' of Mulan and it said the creators were trying to please the Asian viewers and I can tell you I am one who is very pleased.

Not that it matters but as you can tell in this poll, Asians are in the minority on this club: link

It bothers me when people change their favorites list drastically in a matter of days without ANY clear explanations (so this isn't aimed at you dclairmont). TO ME, it doesn't seem like they are expressing their own opinions and seem like a complete different user.

There are people who just seem to hate on things that are getting popular. I hate the constant use of the word overrated as I think everything that is popular and unpopular are that way for a reason. In fact, the more I analyze a DP, the more my list fits the general public's opinion.

It bothers me when people complain about a Princess being too skinny or having huge eyes, they are cartoons for god's sake.

It annoys me that people is saying "Oh Frozen is your usual racist Disney movie with blue-eyed, blonde princesses". Please, do some research. There aren't many blue-eyed blondes in Disney. The only princess that fits that description (without Anna and Elsa) is Cinderella (who had reddish/brown hair before they restored the movie).

I hate it when people want princesses to fit their "labels", like tbh consider this: skin color, race, or whether the character is an animal does not mean you cannot relate to them.

Until last year, I never cared for the protagonists. I always loved the sidekicks more. My favorite princess list was totally based on sidekicks. That's the reason why BatB and Belle were my favorites movie/princess.

His is sort of like 'unpopular a Disney confession' forum. Anyway I feel that people shouldn't hate a character because of their 'looks' like I get that Jasmine is skinny, but just because she is unrealistic doesn't mean you should hate her, it's a CARTOON.

It's always bothered me when people bring up POC and the Disney Princesses. They argue that there's 13 princesses and only 4 princesses are POC, which is 31%, but once you eliminate Elsa (or Anna, but they are sisters, so it's natural that if one is one color, the other will be the same), that's 33%, and if you remove the Classic Princesses (they were made at a very different time when the USA was still very racist), that brings it down to 4 out of 9, which is almost half. Even when you break that down further, Elsa (or Anna) is Norwegian, Ariel is Danish, Belle is French, Rapunzel is German, and Merida is Scottish. So, there argument is pointless in my honest opinion and quite stupid.

Getting tired of people saying that asking for PoC is somehow racist or ridiculous. Before I continue, my favorite princess growing up was Mulan because I related to her most, until Tiana debuted and she has been my favorite ever since. I also loved Pocahontas as a kid and Aladdin was one of my favorite Disney movies. So, clearly, race is not an issue for me in relating.

That said: Disney Princesses are role models. The standards of beauty, strength, courage, excellence, and kindness in our collective cultures. They're often the first fictional female characters that young girls are exposed to, look up to, admire, want to be like. The ones they imitate at home, whether it's buying the fancy dresses from the Disney store, wearing their hair the same way for Halloween, or putting together something from the house like bath towel ball gowns or a glossy curtain cape like Elsa's dress.

If every single princess is white, then what kind of message does that send out? White girls are the standard of excellence (in beauty, strength, personality, cultural identity and heritage) but ethnic girls aren't? Everyone can relate to white princesses but only girls of that ethnicity can relate to princesses of a certain ethnicity, so it's not worth bothering to make them? If so, why do princesses that white girls can relate to worth more than ethnic princesses?

If race, ethnicity, and cultural identity really doesn't matter, then why not have more princesses of different races, ethnicities, and cultural identities?
