Okay, now I know the whole story about pocahontas..... blah blah blah.... and I'm not saying the media is right about most of what they say concerning customs/ history/ whatever.
BUT... disney is coming out with a new african american princess. The media is calling HER the first REAL AMERICAN disney princess. Even though we know the stories are geared towards children and aren't entirely correct, it still irritates me that they don't consider a Native princess to be the first 'real' american princess.
from Los Angeles Times:
""Not only is she the first black princess, she's the first American princess," Rose tells People. "We've never had an American princess. So, the scope and the significance is larger than people even realize.""
