Regarding the race thing: I don't get the complaint (at least not with this show). The majority of Americans are white, this show is set in America, therefore the majority of the actors are white. They work in POC's as much as they can. I'm sure if we get around to Aladdin, Jungle Book, Mulan, Princess and the Frog, etc. they will cast all those characters with the proper race, as we have already seen some of (Jafar is Arab, Mulan is Asian, ect.). Part of the problem is America's stories are very much Euro-centric, and Europe is primarily white. I mean wouldn't we be complaining if characters that are traditionally white were made into POC's? I know people had mixed feelings on Rupunzel not being white. So it's a fine line. Like I said, at least for Once, I think we have enough POC's represented, and we will see more when the proper stories come on the show.
