I personally would not have a problem with a Black Goldilocks. (To me it's just another fairy tale). But I could see how some people might take it wrong casting a black girl in the role of a little girl that breaks into somebody's house, steals their food, breaks their furniture, etc.

Besides, technically speaking, Goldilocks is the villian of that fairytale.

What they need is to bring Rapunzel back and build up her story, and then cast Tiana. And have them as part of the Regular Recurring characters.

I agree so much with bringing back Rapunzel and adding Tiana and make them regular recurring. That along with Mulan would solve their lack of POC problem.

I agree with bringing Rapunzel back. I think the reason why some people disliked the Tower was the same reason some people disliked the Price Of Gold. They took these two, iconic princesses and then got rid of them an episode later. (Ashley at this point is just good for cameos and nothing else) I'm not saying that all the princesses should be main characters like Belle and Snow, but they're Disney princesses. They should be at least part of a major arc. (Ariel in Neverland and presumably the QOD arc, Aurora and Mulan in the Queen of Hearts arc, Ana and Elsa in the Snow Queen arc)

Cinderella, Mulan and Rapunzel need to be brought back for major arcs, Ariel and Aurora are presumably getting much more screentime, Belle and Snow are obviously main characters, Elsa and Anna jutst got done with a massive arc. We're still missing Pocahontas, Jasmine, Merida and Tiana. Aside from Merida, if all three remaining princesses were each given their own arcs, we'd solve the POC problem right quick. I wouldn't hold my breath for Pocahontas (too historical) or Merida (Pixar movie and not actually based on any book plot, not even loosly like Elsa and Anna), but I agree Jasmine and Tiana should be on the show.
