    I don’t think kids care about the races of characters they see in shows, however I do think that it subconsciously wires girls to think that Caucasian girls are representative of beauty, as this is the only race that they are being shown portrayed as “princesses”. Young girls should look up to multinational and multiracial characters. What Disney should do is make more characters of all different shapes and colours, and not change existing ones. Having a diversity in the demographics of characters eliminates racial dominance and implies that beauty is irrespective of skin colour.

Stop looking at her race and focus on how she plays Ariel, and her voice in the trailer was phenomenal. When a black women has an success in life, people love to say it was bc they're black and not bc abilities and their hardwork.

So they did it for diversity and representation but they did it well with care which is acc interesting and attracting.

Because I remember as a kid I always liked Flora and Aisha from the winx club the most just because they were black (I just recently discovered Flora wasn't black lol) they looked like me and whenever I played imaginary winx club with my friends, I would always play as one of those two characters.

    It is important to have representation in the media. There are so many races, cultures, and types of people in the world and for so long it was mainly just one group being showcased and represented in media consistently. It's not like there's no existence of people of color in different TV shows and films, but they are often reduced to stereotypes or playing supporting roles. I don't think there's anything wrong with demanding more when it comes to representation, especially when it's so lacking. White people are represented often and there is a wide range in the types of characters they get to represent. There are so many genres and character roles that you don't see POC in and that's because society/the world has grouped them into being one thing, while white people can be anything. I think that the push for more media representation has had its pros and drawbacks, the pros are that we are getting more range in POC character portrayals, the drawbacks are that sometimes the diversity or representation is poorly executed, and you can tell that something was written or added in to be "inclusive" whether than it feeling natural and a part of the content.

      There’s no way kids actually care about “representation” (that racist bull), I can’t wrap my head around it. I don’t think/know any kid of any race, unless they were taught to be a racial supremacist, jumped for joy when they saw a character with the same race as them.
      It’s not like that character looks like them because they share the same race. That logic of “racial representation” reminds me of how everyone called any black kid a Lost Boy (usually as a joke) when we watched The Good Lie in school just because of the actors’ race and because Lost Boys were Sudanese, and well, black. I dunno, i become physically repulsed by the term “representation” these days.

Man did not look up to princess growing up the way women did or im assuming need that representation (base on y’all’s conversation) like a lot of poc growing up,ask literally any female of color, how they felt about their looks growing up and if she not the 1 out of 100 she gonna tell you that representation means a lot to her

    A lot of black children & parents just get excited about having representation in children’s films. As a child I never really thought about it because my mom would go out her way to buy us black children’s books and turn on black cartoons (which were hard to find), but looking back I did wish I saw more cartoons/princesses that looked like me. Yes, we did get Princess Tiana BUT she was a frog the entire film.
    This is kinda off topic, but it did suck on Halloween wanting to dress up as a Disney Princess and the only option was tiana lol. Like I wanted to be cinderella but I knew damn well I looked nothing like her. The only identifying feature was the dress 😭 I just looked a mess. But the white children could literally be ANY character they wanted andddd it was obvious what they were and they actual did look like the character bc of the color of their skin.
    Although many may not agree on changing Ariel’s race, there are so many other movies featuring a white Princess that it doesn’t make much sense to be mad over THIS one. This movie looks corny af to me but I do love to see black kids happy that one of their favorite characters look like them.

    • @sianais
      @sianais Před rokem +7

      Swapping skin for characters sets a bad precedent no matter which way you cut it. It's just one of many "white" princesses is no excuse. It's dangerous to teach kids that doing a skin swap is all they need or should expect. Tiana wasn't just a skin suit, her story involved elements of specific part of black culture in New Orleans. Mulan wasn't a skin suit, even though some stuff was made you got to see bits of Chinese culture. Moana got that. Pocahontas got that. Belle is French. Rapunzel is German. Merida is Scottish. And by your logic they can be lumped under their skin tone and erased for another group with another skin tone.
      Pushing for black faces on white stories isn't representation, it's tokenism except for some reason folks today are glad for it. Cooperations like Disney are happy for it too because they don't have to push for new characters and can just repaint old ones to the flavour of the month. One day black won't be that flavor.
      There's a reason most don't know Brandy was once Cinderella. Don't accept empty representation. I rather have Moesha, Kenan and Kel, My Wife and Kids, The Cosby Show, The Bernie Mac Show, Sanford and Son, The Fresh Prince, Sister Sister, In Living Colour, Living Single, The Wayans Brothers, Family Matters, The Sinbad Show, Jett Jackson (rest Lee Thompson Young's soul), The Princess and the Frog, etc. than some Friends reboot with a diverse cast nobody will remember in a couple years. Imagine how awesome it would be if Halle was given a character that was based on her, with her own name and a story that belonged to her likeness alone.

    The reason that it would be different if they replaced black Panther with a white guy is because the race and culture of that character is so connected to the character that changing it would make him a complete different character because his race and culture is what a defines him, but with Ariel, she is literally just a mermaid, she doesn’t have any one race that she can be defined as, so it doesn’t matter what race they make her

    As an Indian girl, I grew up watching so many films and never paid attention to the fact that a character was white, because there was barely any representation of coloured characters, however, when I saw representation of a dark skinned princess like Jasmine or the twins from Harry Potter, I was like yah they’re like me but that was about it. Honestly, they just gotta make more diverse characters and roles, for example, there has been so much light recently on South Asians with Never Have I ever, The Wedding Season, Bridgerton, and Miss Marvel. That’s what we need, not old characters recycled 🤷🏾‍♀️

    Hopefully I can explain this well, but the reason that I believe a lot of these reactions from these kids is genuine is because as a black person, we don’t see as much representation in media as white people do. ESPECIALLY in kids content. So when we do get something, it resonates. Just think about when black people who ain’t never seen a superhero movie in their life were lining up to see Black Panther. Hell, I work in a movie theater and there might be even more showing up for the sequel. It’s the same phenomenon.

Also, a lot of the points you’re making like “What if they made an Indian Fresh Prince” don’t make sense because shows like Fresh Prince and movies like Black Panther make being Black/African integral to the story. Ariel can be any color because her race isn’t integral to the story.

    I know I’m late for comment, but something I wanted to share was when I was younger I did notice the different colors of characters in tv shows, movies, animated tv shows and animated movies, but I didn’t care and it never bothered me. I didn’t think the color of their skin defined their personality, just like they all said.
    I think just because I noticed it doesn’t mean I was a racist child.
    I absolutely wasn’t a racist kid, if I was I wouldn’t be around them. If I did and was, I would’ve said offensive things to and about them, which I haven’t. A lot of kids are very observant and probably notice but won’t let that be the reason they like or dislike the character. I as a white guy could relate to a black character just as much as I would with a white character. Great video Strawberry Park!! Also this guy is naturally funny lmao 😂 and He’s a good motivational speaker (I would say)

    I've never thought of race now or when I was younger. Race/color goes with the region where the story is placed... Tiana is in Louisiana where the people are predominantly black, belle is in France with more white skin, and so forth. Some things don't "make sense" the other way, but with everything going on in this day and age, we have to allow it.

    As men who aren’t fully black , explaining how black kids shouldn’t care about representation because they’re kids doesn’t make sense to me😂. Like you don’t even know what seeing black representation as a kid feels and mean to children .

      Like as a child I obviously knew when someone did not resemble my family or color on TV.

    It’s less about if the kids care that’s she’s black, it’s about what children connote to beauty and self worth overtime.Representation matters.

      Representation by replacing pre-existing white characters with black ones? If they made a black character white, the entire black community would be in an uproar.

      I would say that we do see race and colour even when we are 8,9 years old. But we don't attach the colour or race to any other ideology. Which is what makes it innocent. If you stay the same. You don't deny the truth of your eyes and the colours it shows but your able to see beyond anything prejudiced.

    I really don’t think her being black is a bad thing. She could just be a good actor. Don’t get me wrong, Disney’s hella woke. But this isn’t one.

    Ariel isn’t even an actual human being so making her white or a poc doesnt change anything about the characters story so I truly don’t understand those who care about her race. Changing a charcter like princess in the frog to someone other than black completely changed the cultural meaning behind the story. The extreme ignorance is bother some to me the fact he thinks it could work vice versa with white people is amusing. There are a million and one ways white people are represented in the media in comparison to poc characters. So yes the characters in movies do matter because they fully influence the younger generation and how they perceive themselves.
