Honey Lemon was a white hispanic?
It's just that, Anna feels Rapunzel done in extreme- much more goofier, much more awkward, and all that. Hence why I said "clownish".
And yes, Disney admitted Honey Lemon was latina (her voice actress is Puerto Rican). That lead to a buttload of people saying how that's whitewashing, how she looked "white", how hispanics are only dark-skinned...A lot of really ignorants comments regarding race and such, not understanding that Latin America, much like the USA, is a melting pot of different races living together. But Americans seem to have this idea that they must all look the same, and if not, they're just same ol' white people (never mind a white European can't compare to a white American? And white latinos also grow up having different beliefs and cultures etc compared to "white people", but nobody wants to accept that).
Just an ugly discussion all around.

You mean the sheltered, naive girl that comes from a small background and despite being naive, she's hardworking, determined and optimistic and has a dream? That goes on a trip with a patronizing jerk only to discover he's not all that bad and forms a connection with him? Yeah, pretty much.
There's also a bit of that in Tiana and Moana, too.
