I know what you're saying, but there's also timeframe to consider.

The POC characters were all later princesses (I think Jasmine was first, and that was 1992). Historically, that is a fairly long time after the beginning of civil rights movements working to emancipate racial minorities.

I'm not saying thing will go at an equally slow pace now, but it may well be that we'll need to wait another 20 years for a princess who is say,transgender.

I hope I'm wrong, actually, but I don't really see it happening in the next decade. Perhaps for a supporting character, perhaps, but not a full-blown Disney princess.

Er from 1959-1989 Disney had ZERO princess films though, and in fact with just a couple of small exceptions (Jungle Book which did star a POC, Sword in the Stone, and Black Cauldron all of their films released during that time period starred animals).

So really there is just... two periods of princess films, the classic princesses (1938-1959) and the renaissance and post renaissance princess films (1989-current). That's why I mentioned the latter.

I never said an lgbtq character would happen very soon, but I do think that it will happen eventually. I'm also not arguing that Disney is omg so progressive.

I think we're actually mostly on the same page but phrasing it differently.
