The funny thing is blacks were only offended at her original name & occupation. The French were offended at the Frog part, which is why it isn't called Frog Princess anymore.

I love how Manabye says uses the word "blacks"

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2009, 09:13:39 AM »

Why? It's no different than how blacks use the word "blacks".

some people (Blackace, for one) draw a strong distinction between "blacks" and "Blacks." I prefer the lowercase if only because "Blacks" reeks too strongly of a trademarked brand name

I've always been opposed to African-American (or Anything-American) due to how imprecise and assumptive it is. It's extra silly once you start looking at other countries, for example the UK. Oh, so now Paterson Joseph is an "African-American"?

in conclusion, I wish I could wear my All Blacks jersey in Los Angeles without getting beat up

Well, this IS supposed to be a fantasy based film, afterall.

A colleague once called a Dutch black guy African-American, translated to Dutch, to make things worse.
I ended up being a racist after making fun of her.

How many movies come out that you can take you pre-teen daughter to? I think this will do well. 100-130 million.

:btw I bet Drinky gets roped into taking his daughter to it.
