Disney tries to bring some color into their afterschool teeny shows. There's Brenda Song. Young actress of Hmong and Thai American descent. Plays a spoiled airhead hotel heiress named London Tipton. She is funny and endearing. The Disney website offers a selection of games based on the different characters. The game based on London Tipton lets you dress and put make up on your avatar. My daughter love Brenda Song. Probably because even her six year old brain noticed that she was the only Asian actor with more than two lines. My little one was playing the dress up game, when I noticed the stupid game based on an Asian character doesn't give you a yellow skin option. Just light pale, dark pale, sunburned pink, light brown, and dark brown. Fuck. Can't you people do anything right? Just add a fucking pale yellow button on the shitty game. Two seconds. That's all it'll take you to add one more little square of option for your thousands of Asian American tween fans. What's with the white lily ass character on the game? Damn you.
P.S. Thanks for making Mulan because that totally makes up for everything. Oh yeah, and Hong Kong Disney. All is forgiven. Disney loves the Chinese. And so does Eddie Murphy.
