The Proud Family cartoon is being rebooted on Disney+ and is still promoting racist and colorist stereotypes of darkskin Black women and girls. The clearest and most prominent example of that is Dijonah Jones, or Delinquinetta as she was initially named. A name that was meant to further the racist, colorist caricature of the dark skin black girl they created.

Dijonah Jones is depicted as a darkskin with a terrible attitude, chubby, loudmouth, aggressive with selfish-impulsive behaviors (All damaging racial tropes). These tropes have been negatively attached to Black, particularly darkskin women, and for decades has been the kind of representation darkskin Black girls have received.

The Proud Family has always had issues with colorism. The series in its depiction of visible Black girls/women perpetuates the idea that those with lighter skin are intelligent and "human" while those with darker skin are seen as incompetent and less than. Especially when the lighter skin women and girls in the cartoons are represented as multidimensional characters without racial dehumanization. 

This cartoon is filled with racism and colorism that will have terrible effects on the self-esteem of Black girls and women alike. Disney has previously announced new initiatives designed for inclusivity and representation. I, therefore, call upon Walt Disney to cancel The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder for its racism and colorism or at least redesign the role of Dijonah Jones.
