Yes, kids being taught racial tribalism before their ABCs is so beautiful. The last six Disney female leads have been POCs (Raya, Mei, Mirabel, Moana, Jasmine, Mulan) but if little white girls were rejoicing a princess "looked like them" you'd puke your guts out and use the video to justify CRT. And don't give me that "It's different because they never see themselves represented" crap. A study published by no less than NPR showed African Americans are already over-represented on screen and even when I was growing up we were inundated with black leads in children's TV: That's So Raven, The Famous Jet Jackson, Little Bill, Reading Rainbow, Smart Guy, etc.

This is parents raising their kids to be racial tribalists and only able to identify with someone who looks like them. Don't give me that "They never see themselves on screen" crap. A study authored by no less than NPR showed African Americans area already over-represented in the media and even when I was growing up I was inundated with black leads in children's entertainment (The Proud Family, Little Bill, The Famous Jet Jackson, That's So Raven, Smart Guy, Keenan and Kell, etc.)
If little white girls rejoiced seeing a princess who looked like them because the last 6 Disney leads (Mei, Mulan, Moana, Raya, Jasmine, and Mirabel) have been POCs those videos would be used to justify teaching CRT to preschoolers.
