Disney Diversity
Though this specific example is from a movie, and we are choosing to focus on television media, I thought it is important to point out that even cartoons geared at very young children are beginning to show interracial couples. Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" is a great example with an African-American princess and a Brazilian prince, living happily ever after (of course!). There was still some backlash over this movie, mostly because the prince was not African-American as well, which made some of this population feel that it was showing discrimination against men of color. In our opinion, a great depiction of a diverse, happy couple. To Disney, we say Nice Work! You are showing our younger generations that diversity is okay. You can't please them all, but this sure is a great start!
