This is Leah Chase, she died in 2019 on the first of June. (Rest in Peace) She was a legendary chef in Louisiana with a restaurant called Dooky’s Chase Restaurant. She was beloved in her community and very well known for her many recipes, but especially her Creole Cuisine.
Tiana’s culture and her race has EVERYTHING to do with her character. American Creole culture is beautiful and with the help of Leah’s family, Disney put that culture in the movie.
Leah Chase, heavily influenced the characterization of Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog” and her family had a big hand in the creative process of the film.
Comparing The Princess and the Frog to The Little Mermaid is just dumb. Ariel is a… MERMAID (omg what a shock. I’m so surprised). Mermaids have NO race. That movie wasn’t cast based on looks, it was cast based on SKILL. Halle had the skill, so she got the role.
I’ve seen many arguments about Tiana originally being white. That is incorrect. The Princess and the Frog is a retelling based off of The Frog Prince. It’s not like Snow White or Cinderella which are adaption. (Yes there’s a difference)
The point is, suggesting that Tiana should be played but anyone but a black actress is not just disrespectful to every black child who sees themselves in Tiana, but also to Leah Chase and her family.
As someone who loves fairytales, i must say The Frog Prince and The Princess and the Frog, are truly nothing alike. With the exception of them being frogs…
And for Snow White, they never ever said she was white, they said she had SKIN as white as snow. ANYONE can have skin as white as snow. RACE has nothing to do with it. A black person with albinism could’ve been casted for that role. What would it change? RIGHT. Get over it.
Moral of the story is, ITS A FAIRYTALE. And it’s for KIDS. Last I checked, none of you on this app is a child. So go touch some grass, get some vitamin D, pay your bills, and BOYCOTT because there are people DYING right now.
And who actually liked the original Snow White? Right… y’all still have Rapunzel, Aurora, Belle, Merida, Cinderella, Elsa, Anna… and if you wanna get technical you also got Anastasia and Sofia the First.

I’ll be sure to personally send you a link if it’s not working for you.
Please remember this is for Palestine and it’s important.

I appreciate everyone who took the time to read my thread and learn the importance of Tiana. Here’s some links to help Palestine and other countries that are going through a really hard time.

Starting to think you can’t read so here are some videos. Leah chase was important to her community and Tiana was based HEAVILY off of her. Making her white is disrespectful. End of story.
@reetalkstoomuch
also the whole tiana design is based off of anika noni rose herself bc she specifically said she wants a dark skinned girl with broad nose and thick curly hair to show the proper representation
I’m muting this and turning off replies because I’m constantly asking y’all to give me proof that I am wrong and you have yet to do so, other than blatant racism. When y’all get your facts straight and all your proof, let me know.
@percyjackster
They have that “You’re really cute, I like you x You’re a weirdo, get away from me” and then they get paired for a project and y’all know how it goes.

FIRST OF ALL, HERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT DONATING!
1) BOYCOTTING!!! Do not take this fucking lightly, a lot of these monstrous companies have been supporting awful things for years: if you're STILL being a patron after the fact that people are speaking on more of who

I don’t think a lot of you know what AAVE is because it’s been turned into “American genz slang”. But you using AAVE with a black person as your pfp is misleading. It makes a lot of people assume you’re black so just change it and stop using AAVE. So simple.
Hope this helps. <33

What the OP said was not a joke, it was a RACIST comment. If you read my entire explanation and still have the AUDACITY to call that a joke, then you lack brain cells and reading comprehension.
@you_tweaked
Are you black? Because if you’re not black or better yet, if you’re not Louisiana Creole then you cannot decide what is racist towards them. Thanks.
@TealNation98
Me? You’re a white American man, with no reading comprehension, who most likely listen to Andrew Tate all day and night, and voted for Trump just to be fucking different. Go wipe your dirty ass cause I know you funky, you lazy tramp.
All of you making fun of a black person expressing that they’re uncomfortable with something is racist. And you’re getting blocked. I’m posting your acc so our shared moots can block you as well. I’m tired of educating people who don’t want to be educated.

@maluceh
‘s art is that it actually looks like they’re from the 70’s. The color palette, the makeup, the hair. Also the fact that it looks like wizarding world clothes as well. Every thing about them is just perfect.
I feel like someone has to be mature enough to say this publicly, though at the same time it shouldn’t have to be said, everyone on here should be old enough to understand it. But sadly that ain’t the case so I’ll say it. 1/12
Let me explain cause y’all stressing me out. When people use AAVE and they’re not black, that’s offensive. Alot of people are using AAVE and it’s extremely normalized. If you use AAVE and your pfp is of a black person, I’m going to assume you’re black, simple as that.

It’s black history month. Yes we’re also striking but it is still black history month. And y’all really been having the audacity this month of all months, to keep trying it with the semi racism.
@comicaccuracy
I hope y’all know you are in these comments proving CA’s point. I’m not saying jt has to lead up to anything but y’all complain abt what the MCU leads up to and are now being perfectly fine with dceu not leading up to anything. So I hope you see the hypocrisy😭
The team behind ‘Inside Out 2’ assembled a crew of nine teenage girls who would come to the studio every four months, watch the film as it was being made, and give them notes on Riley’s emotions.
I love talking, I love telling people what I think and how I feel. But I also love listening to people. What’s that random fact you learned? You wanna tell me your fandom lore? I’m sat. I just find it so much odd joy in listening to people talk about stuff they love.

I'm still a believer but I don't know why. I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try. I'm still on that trapeze, I'm still trying everything, to keep you looking at me
Thinking this is crazy. Saying this out loud is wild. Going on Twitter, typing it, rereading it, finding a gif for it, and posting it, is sooo disgusting. Y’all weirddddd.
You have a fresh manicure, your home clearly has electricity because you curled your hair, full face of makeup, clean clothes that’s not dirty or stained with blood, and a place of education that isn’t burnt down. But okay…

Where did I say “Let’s not cast her German”? I never said anything about her nationality nor ethnicity. I said something about her skin. We’re on two different topics rn
@you_tweaked
Oh then you’re just an embarrassment. If someone made an animated movie inspired by your mother, then decided to make it live action, and race swapped her… You wouldn’t be disrespected? And ain’t no way you read that entire thread and don’t think that’s racist. Boy bye.
I want a marauders group chat that’s active and everyone wanna RESPECTFULLY share their headcanons and shit. Also be friends of course but like… I want to actually talk about marauders and not marauders drama
@mariaurbaee
No because “Only those who cannot express themselves intelligently would resort to such crude substitution in vocabulary” is going to always be my all time favorite.
Sirius and Regulus cussing in sign language, Sirius and Regulus gossiping in sign language, Sirius and Regulus comforting each other in sign language, Sirius and Regulus arguing in sign language… Sirius signing “why’d you leave me” to Regulus’ ghost in the dusk of Azkaban.
Anyone who think that a white person should play a poc when their race (almost always) is important to the impact of the story, is automatically a racist to me. Same mfs quick to say “white Tiana” is the same people to agree with this post.
