    I hear from the far right, they have issues with the star of the movie, being black. What’s sad, it’s a fictional character. Seeing, these little girls, excited, is a good thing. They finally get some representation, in a movie, where they can play a princess.

    What are your thoughts, on the main character, being black, not white?

    Meanwhile pretty much every western ever made–for cinema or tv–has 100% white cattle herders ie. cowboys.

    Historians tell us that up to 25% of actual working cattle herding cowboys were black.

    I wonder if the same people complaining about black elves and mermaids complained about all white cowboys.

    “I wonder,” heh heh. 😎
