Race on Princesses

Race has always been an issue when it comes to fairytales too. Until Tiana, when it comes to Disney  movies, there was not a black princess. Because of this, many studies have shown that when told a story, every race in the group drew a white princess. I think that this mostly has to be in the United States, and has to do with disney. Although the stories the children were read were not disney, most of what they have seen as children have been the same idea of what a princess looks like. In a lecture we we taught in class, lots of facts were pointed out about most fairytales:
-prince charming is always white
-the evil character is always dressed in black

In this case, I do not see the correlation between evil wearing black, and the race. Black the color (not the skin color) is viewed as evil and dark, as the color is dark. I think this is reaching a little bit for the idea that it has to do with race, but I understand the other points.

 I think a lot of this stems from the first fairytales written, the time and era it was written and who was writing them, and then it sort of trailed and followed.

In other countries they are told stories of their own princesses, so for each country, this isn't as prominent as in the United States.
