Disney comes out with its first Latina Princess

Backlash for Disney's first Latina princess

CNN article “Backlashfor Disney's first Latina princess” by Cindy Y. Rodriguez reported that Disney exactly makes “Princess Sofia” as a first Latina princess character. "Sofia the First" will be the television movies. It will firstly promote to public on November the 18^th through the Disney Channel and Disney Junior, aim at children ages 2-7. Some think that this new princess would be a great chance for USA citizen to accept the Latin American culture. Others criticized what they saw just a lack of Hispanic cultural or ethnic identity in the Sofia character.

Personally, I believe that Disney has a good intention for promoting its new type of princess character, like it use to create the princess who are African-American, Chinese, and Native Indian American. But Disney has to work harder on doing this kind of creative project because if they interpret Latino identity for Princess Sofia in a wrong way, some people especially for Hispanic may think that Disney is look down on them.
