I am not sure what you guys are talking about. First of all OuAT are not based on Disney characters. They are based on the original stories. Disney adapted these stories loosely.

The princess in Princess and the Frog is not named Tiana in the real story.

Anyway, I don't think it would be insulting to have Tiana white, black, asian, hispanic...or even green. It is a smart move to make Rapunzel to be black. In fact, I think the girl plays her beautifully. I believe that African American viewer of this franchise are smart enough not to be insulted by such petty thing.
