White man meets random native copper-skinned woman..
..white man and copper-skinned woman somehow are able to converse in the same known language despite the colonizers and native Indians haven't never met before???
Epic Disney fail at its best. XD
Seriously, they forgot to put that into consideration. But then again, it would take too long and would make things too complicated for children if they rolled out a movie explaining how Pocahontas slowly picked up English and the awkward moments when John Smith and Pocahontas do wild hand gestures trying to communicate with each other.
Bahahahahaha... I just spoiled a beautiful Disney classic.
I always thought Pocahontas was so beautiful. I liked her better compared to tacky white princesses like Snow White(ZOMG), Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, etc. The least of my favorites was Belle. I suppose Cinderella comes in second, but still, she's still pretty useless. Geez. Even Barbie did a better job than these troupes of diva women.
I used to love Pocahontas' long black hair. After seeing so much blonde hair in cartoons, I finally could relate to some character. And yes, I did grow my hair to a very long length. Maybe I was unconsciously inspired by her, who knows. For some weird reason I don't consider Mulan too much of a role model, despite it being logical seeing she's Chinese like me and yadda yadda yadda. I suppose it's because I go against the typical stereotype of Chinese girls, such as sepet eyes and fair skin and long straight black hair. I like looking anything but Chinese. Which is why I found it a compliment when William called me a Polynesian(WIN).
Honestly, I'm not really sure what I look like. I look at myself in the mirror and I don't see a Chinese girl. Most people don't think I'm Chinese. Stephanie has been mistaken for a Japanese numerous times, and Joel has been mistaken for.. a whole bunch of stuff. Korean, Eurasian, you name it. What's weird is, while my older sister is busy fooling everyone with her Japanese looks, and Joel gets people asking whether he's of some odd blood mixture, neither of us have got mistaken for the same type of race. I'm always called Malay, Chilayan, Chindian, Polynesian, Indonesian, Sarawakian.... never Japanese. Or Korean. Or Eurasian, like Joel. Hmm. It seems I have a very native tribal look about me.
Though I do NOT resemble Pocahontas. That's like, native American. Way too tribal there. I'll always have an Asian look. ASIAN POWER WOOHOO.
Okay, rants are over for now. Time to get going on another presentation, sigh. The never ending streams of presentations are wearing me out.
