Eh, my brother's girlfriend has red/brown hair and green eyes and she's Mexican. Latinos don't see themselves as any specific skin tone or hair color.

My girlfriend is Latina and her first words were "She's white".

 

[Avixph]

The mother looks Latino, but the dad and kids don't.

Femshep playing Cinderella though? :/

That boy looks like he's blazed out of his mind.

 

[Sadsic]

why has no one commented that this looks horrible

 

[DyTonic]

Needs to have a donk..

 

[Angelus Errare]

Tangent: Does CNN often link stories to other websites? Because I followed a link to a gallery of Kim Kardashian out with Kanye West...and she's wearing a see throughish gray dress...with no underwear.

Back on topic, Dora > this princess.

Eww horrible style

 

[Zoe]

Oh god the animation on this looks like one of those fucking terrifying straight to DVD Disney ripoffs.

That's exactly what this is.

 

[Dambrosi]

Can't wait to see her in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Probably with that exact same CG model. Ugh.

 

[zaxon]

I think this misses the more important point that princess cartoons are stupid.

 

[Eidan]

Very good point.

Tangled was fuck-awesome.

I sure hope you're not a My Little Pony fan saying that.

 

[ReiGun]

Tangled was fuck-awesome.

That's right, Bertram. Let 'em know what's really good.

STORY: Latinos don't know what latinos actually look like.

 

[Artanisix]

Eh, my brother's girlfriend has red/brown hair and green eyes and she's Mexican. Latinos don't see themselves as any specific skin tone or hair color.

Yep, my ex-girlfriend had pale skin, green eyes, strawberry blonde hair. 75% Mexican.

I think it's utter garbage that Disney decided to go with a terrible tv-movie for their debut Latina princess story. I mean just look at the graphics, they're beyond embarrassing for our generation.

 

[ronito]

she has her natural eyebrows.

 

[Funky Papa]

she has her natural eyebrows.

It's not like princesses break their bread with cholas.

 

[Horseticuffs]

Wtf? If Latin America doesn't exist in their world, she isn't fucking Latina. If she's from some dumbass land of make-believe with some Latin influences, she's a whateverthefucktheycallthemselves-ian.

Man, it's like Disney ain't even trying with this shit.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

What is the difference between Latin and Hispanic?

 

[Avixph]

Why is it when the word Latino/ Latina is said people think Mexican?

 

[jamesinclair]

Light skin Latinas exist guys. I think the fictious country is what sucks.

With blue eyes?


Frankly, the animation is the most insulting part. Did you guys watch the video? Looks like something I did back in 1995 as a kid on a "make your first movie!" software

 

[shira]

increase dat ass mass and up the sass by 70%

turn up the tan level

and we Latina now

 

[ViewtifulJC]

That artstyle looks some bizarro episode of Reboot

Giving the latinas that budget animation

 

[Avixph]

What is the difference between Latin and Hispanic?

Latino is what people on the west-coast of the United States identify as and Hispanic is what people on east-coast identify as.

 

[RM8]

I guess I'm not latino enough.

That evil looking guy is totally not going to betray the king or something like that.

hobo gloves are a sure sign of treachery

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

That's just a poor resolution photo, it looks good in motion brahs.

 

[Roche]

People really should find better things to be upset about.

 

[harSon]

True, but Disney can't claim diversity within its portfolio if its Latino character is going to conveniently be of the white variety.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Mulan & Belle are best

 

[Barkley's Justice]

hahahaha

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Latino is what people on the west-coast of the United States identify as and Hispanic is what people on east-coast identify as.

Seems legit.

 

[AkuMifune]

I remember the same kind of kerfuffle when the Princess and the Frog was announced, but at least the animation was good. Well, comparatively.

 

[Trurl]

Disney learned everything they know about latinas from watching mexican tv.

 

[ronito]

It's not like princesses break their bread with cholas.

No cholas no sale ese.

 

[Messofanego]

Oh, it's a TV movie no wonder the animation looks so cheap.

 

[mattp]

Paul Mooney: First, they have "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt, now they have "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. Well, I've written a film, maybe they'll produce my film. The Last Nigga on Earth, starring Tom Hanks. How about that?

does no one understand that tom cruise isn't the last samurai?

 

[TUROK]

The ignorance in here is astounding. This notion that "Latinos" are supposed to look a certain way is retarded.

There's way too much variation to pigeonhole them into one generalized look.

Also, Latina princess? Meh, Disney shouldn't have to cater to each race/ethnicity/whatever just to avoid backlash.

does no one understand that tom cruise isn't the last samurai?

The word "samurai" in the movie title is plural. Nobody seems to get that.

 

[XenodudeX]

increase dat ass mass and up the sass by 70%

and we Latina now

wtf thats racist man

 

[Bentendo]

The mother looks Latino, but the dad and kids don't.

Femshep playing Cinderella though? :/

So then she has a white dad, meaning she naturally would appear "in between". What's the problem again?

 

[Mr. Poolman]

As a Latin man myself, I wonder why would we need those silly european castles?

They should make all princesses purple.

 

[jett]

lol, regardless of the latino business it's not a real "Disney princess" if she doesn't star in a feature animation. TV-only movie? Us latino always getting screwed.

 

[Zoe]

That's not her dad.

 

[d[-_-]b]

Latin people can have white skin and not have a heavy hispanic accent.

Details details... not marketable if you're not living up to generalizations...

 

[Avixph]

Seems legit.

It is.

The point of creating a Latina princess is to reach out to an audience that might feel underrepresented. What is the point of even attempting a Latina princess then, if you're just going to make her look like all the previous princesses? You're not reaching out to anyone except the audience that has already been reached, coddled, and catered to.

 

[KtSlime]

so then, how does one go about latina-fying her? giver her a huge ass, tight jeans and tight tank top?

Needs more stereotypes. :lol

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Why even say Latina? Just don't label it at all.
