It's ironic that Disney decided, in part, to bring back hand-drawn animation for a new black princess in order to racially empower black girls (to have their own princess, sort to speak) but gets flak over the same fact. That's why Disney has found it so easy to do anthropomorphized cars, toys, animals, whatever. Stereotypes aren't so bad if you hid them under unrelatable fiction, apparently.
Personally I hope they continue with this movie undeterred as equality comes in both the good things and the bad (although, I wouldn't be so quick to call Disney a "social evil").'
EDIT: And I can understand Disney taking political correctness so seriously considering how they've historically taken so much criticism (and a lot of the time justified criticism). But their sensitivity only goes to show how honest Disney is about retaining the childhood innocence of "the happiest place on earth."
