The problem with this argument is it assumes that Disney stories are factually accurate in ALL other facets. To use the story of Aladdin, no one has ever proved that carpets can fly or that genies exist. No one can prove that genies in bottles are blue (although this guy would argue genies are blue because they are deprived of oxygen from being in a tiny bottle with a small air hole). To make the argument that all the princesses are white because they look like the people where the story originated flies in the face of all the other creative liberties that Disney takes in its storytelling. Disney can choose to make princesses any color or race they want. They are the ones telling the story to mainstream America. Dont be duped by the giant talking mouse. Mickey may be black on the outside but I promise there is a sweaty Mexican-American teenager underneath. Now thats some quality make-believe.
