There was a blogger (Salon?) who basically as calling Disney racist because the amount of white proncesses. I don't rememeber who, but some other blogger responded and it was an ultimate takedown - he schooled him on the origins of many of the early Disney movies - Has Chrisitian Andersen, Brothers Grimm - all wee from European countries, hence, European characters.
Having said that diversity is important and it's nice Disney has had more multicultural characters over the last 15 years.
