WTH Disney?!

I was taking a shower today and I was doing some thinking.


Disney I compliment you on making progress with the first African American Diseny Princess/Heroine in the new movie The Princess and the Frog

Where is the first Latina heroine/princess?!


So Far we have:
Snow white and Cinderella were written I think originally by the Brothers Grimm... I believe they were German
Ariel- a mermaid ( so we have those fish people represented)
Belle- She's French
Alice in Wonderland- She's white too
Sleeping beauty- Another pretty white girl
Jasmine from Aladdin- She's Arabic so we have the middle east represented
Pocahontas- We have American Indians represented ( I liked that movie)
Hercules- We got the Greeks
Mulan- She's Chinese
Lilo and Stitch- She was Hawaiian



Yes I know they made the Emperor's New Groove ( which is like the incas of South America and the main character was a guy!) But we need a Latina Heroine since the population of the US will mostly be Latinos within the next few years.


That's all I got...
