Good point. While it's still very white, post 1989 Disney has given us a lot of different colors and cultures of people. Arabic, Native American, Hawaiian, Black, Asian, and brown-with-white-hair-and-blue-eyes-so-who-knows? characters.

How's it still very though? here is a list of Disney animated movies since 1990:

Rescuers Down Under - Animals (some white people)
Beauty and the Beast - White ppl
Aladdin - No white ppl
Lion King - Animals
Pocahontas - Mixed (not white Princess)
Hunchback of Notre Dame - Mixed (not white Princess)
Hercules - Uuuh what's today's verdict on racially classifying Greeks?
Mulan - No white ppl
Tarzan - White ppl
Fantasia 2000 - No idea
Dinosaur - Animals
Emperor's New Groove - No white ppl
Atlantis - Mixed (not white Princess)
Lilo & Stitch - No white ppl (maybe a couple but only side characters)
Treasure Planet - White ppl
Brother Bear - No White ppl
Home on the Range - Animals
Chicken Little - Animals
Meet the Robinsons - White ppl
Bolt - White ppl
Princess and the Frog - No white ppl as main characters (one secondary character)
Tangled - White ppl
Winnie the Pooh - Animals (some white ppl)
Wreck it Ralph - White ppl
Frozen - White ppl (unless we take ethnicity into account)

I know it's a crude way to put it but what I get from this is that Disney actually has a really good mix of "races". And, to be fair, there was NO white Princess between Belle (1991) and Rapunzel (2010), that's almost 20 years during which Disney was constantly criticized for only having white Princesses but actually having none...

I was thinking that, too. I honestly feel that a lot of SJWs who talk about "POC" are only referring to black people. Disney has actually done a lot of non-European culture stuff. Could they do more? Absolutely. But Disney is not as whitewashed as the critics claim...

"POC" means "African American", they just don't dare to say it like this because it would be racist. It's very frustrating, not least because it is very US-centric and ignores things such as ethnicity which are hugely important everywhere else. Skin color isn't the be all and end all of diversity.

The Tumblr Medieval POC has made several posts about how she gets specifically anti-black abuse, and nothing about her actual background. (Native American.)
