I feel like Glee (which I totally watch) has really exacerbated this problem--it's overhyped and aimed at teens and has a diverse cast, but the writing isn't very good or consistent. As a result of all these things, there's a TON of bitching about what it says and what it should say and the messages it's sending and all this sort of thing--I feel like the show was promoted (and I blame Fox for this) as, like, THIS SHOW IS ALL ABOUT YOU AND CAN ~IDENTIFY WITH ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, KIDS, IT'S SO GROUNDBREAKING and then when it turns out to be sort of shallow or inaccurate or stereotyped, people get way more annoyed than they would with another show. So, yeah, there's kind of no way to win. This is one of many, many reasons I wish this show was on cable and was more TV-MA--it kinda tries to be a satire now sometimes, but it really can't get away with much and just comes off looking cheesy half the time. If they could really Go There and have a super-snarky, super-un-P.C. sense of humor, I think it'd be a lot better and it wouldn't have these ridiculous expectations attached to it. But, whatever.

(The thing that killed me the most about The Princess and the Frog was the way all the critics were going SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN when it was so clearly about what the adults wanted. Like, they changed her name from "Maddie" because it sounded too much like "Mammy." Yeah, because the six-year-olds going to see the movie will immediately think of the stereotypical characters played by Hattie McDaniel and others and will think "well, I guess all black people are subservient; I'm gonna be racist now!" Kids have no idea what "Mammy" means! Kids are far less judgmental and narrow-minded than adults, and yet we're acting like they would have been turned into total racists by seeing a black girl as a maid, as originally planned. It wasn't about not being racist, it was about not seeming racist; what the actual target audience thought was apparently irrelevant. I thought that was so incredibly telling.)

Huh. I admit I didn't follow Princess & the Frog's production, but I thought the reason they changed her name was because people didn't want the first black Disney princess to have a white name. I can see their point, although it does bug me that "Tiana" is kind of anachronistic considering the setting of the movie.
