I know of both you mentioned. Had no clue Dargon Ball Z had anything to do with that, but cool fact.

Once will go outside European stories (not like they all originate there). They just won't do it often and those aren't the only times to include diversity. If the only time we were to see diversity was the inclusion of other tales, we would have seen less diversity.

Popular tales known by the writers and Showrunners are the ones that will make it on this show. Seriously don't tell me to ask a ten year old Cinderella or Anansi, because I'm sure one is more popular than the other. It's all up to the writers to decide and I'm sure (which is an opinion and I have a right to one) they will choose what interests them and is vauguely well known by the American audience. I can go up to my peers and say Dragon ball z or Journey to the West....one is more well known than the other.

There are European fairytales that haven't (and won't likely ever be) been touched on Once, so I don't think they are biased to only European ones. Like the twelve princesses or Princess and the Pea.

Still, regardless of if they go outside of their boundaries or not (not like they have thousands of season left), it doesn't excuse not mixing up character ethnicities.

I would love them to not do a Eurocentric story again. I would loive more diversity in such matters. Still doesn't make it so.
