The Disney Princesses tell it like it is

My question is that if they had included POCs in Brave, wouldn’t they have been portrayed as slaves?

[An unfortunate part of my own heritage, the Scots were really into the slave trade.. But they treated their slaves very well, most of them taking the last name of the family that owned them.. Still really sucky.]

…waaaat?   Did you miss the entire point of this whole image post?   A, they were not always slaves in Europe.   POC have existed in Europe for a long time and not always as slaves.   Google :P

B, again, the entire point of this post is that the movies are not historically accurate, so why is it okay for Rapunzel to have magical hair and a chameleon, for Merida to have a corset that wasn’t popular until centuries later and freedoms she could not have actually enjoyed during that time period, and people turning into bears,

but POC are not allowed to also step out of “historical accuracy”?   Chameleons get the okay, but POC do not??  Why would they have to be slaves???

Sorry I just… I don’t know how else to explain the point of the entire post?

edit: wow my eyes just skiiimmed over that line about them treating slaves nicely, yes, that is BS, slaves did not take the last names “because they were treated well,” that is a very interesting way to re-interpret history there
