I don't know if this was the exact story you saw, but I saw this "overheard by friends of Tiana" post on Twitter a few weeks ago that included an anecdote about a little girl whose mom wouldn't let her wear a Tiana dress.
I had seen that and was saddened and felt bad for the friends of Tiana that have to deal with that (and Naveen and I am sure Jasmine and Aladin and Mulan and others) ... and they not only have to hear that but have to smile through it!
I do wonder if some of those comments are more from a place of ignorance than hatred (not that it is an excuse but perhaps something that can be changed over time)
I also recently read this story (of a black actor who was cast as Hans in Frozen: Live at the Hyperion) ... a reminder that Disney is not immune from these things happening internally either and hopefully now can be a time for them to look inward as well
