"we can do anything." Except write a decent how without fucking with a known property. Why not just write an original cartoon with an Indian and or gay character. And this "tied to her whiteness" is utter, racist bullshit. If you get your head out of your ass and stop looking at everything through the lenses of race, gender, sex, orientation, politics, you just might be able to write a good story that stands on its own. Then your characters can be whatever.
