We're going to assume that it was through sheer chance that Disney decided to use Princess Tiana, its first black princess, to peddle Dig 'n Dips watermelon-flavored candy. Surely Disney was oblivious to the obvious hate that'd come with putting its lone black princess (and its own ass) in a racially compromising position, right?

Of course Disney meant well; this is just one big misunderstanding. Right?
