Now this is about group that has men playing princesses and white Pocahontas and jasmine. And they all say I shouldn't do it for "character integrity ". Then when a few people say they don't even know why someone would request that and I explained to them that it was because black kids like more than just the 2 black characters they're alotted and that they want a princess that looks like them at their party they then started arguing with me about how race has nothing to do with how they relate to the character and that kids don't see race and that the fact that little girls white black don't think they can be a princess or beautiful because of their skin color isn't because they don't see themselves as princesses in media but because the parents didn't raise them right.
To say the least that made me mad and went in on em. The post was just deleted.
I'm sick and tired of these princess groups being filled with nothing but white people who praise men who can transform into a princess, or white people who play poc princesses but then once one of their white characters is turned brown they have a cow.
