Brzoskwinia: Your list is intrinsically incorrect:

Neither "Native American" nor "African American" is a nationality: Pocahontas was of the Powhatan Confederacy; one of a multitude of nations in pre- and post-colonial America. As I stated earlier; saying Pocahontas's nationality is "Native American" is like saying that "European" is a nationality too (it is not, BTW).

Tiana's ETHNICITY might be "African-American", but that is NOT a nationality by any stretch of the imagination.

Jasmine cannot be of "Arabian nationality" because there is not, and has never been, such a nationality (even today; you have Saudi nationals and UAE nationals who identify themselves with their local Emirate). Based on fashions, customs, titles and geography, Jasmine is almost certainly Ottoman; the Islamic empire that dominated the region from 1299 to 1922.

Snow White? Bavaria works... up to a point; it was under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire as a Grand Duchy, meaning "no kingdoms within". MODERN Germany includes Bavaria, gut given that its borders have changed several times since the first millennium, it would be hard to tell for certain if her father's Kingdom was in what is the modern state of Bavaria or not. As such, "Germany" is more accurate, as it encompasses vast territories that were within and without the Holy Roman Empire.

Cinderella is a special case; it CAN'T be France; Charming's father is NOT the King of France! In fact, based on the fashions (male and female, noble and commoner), there was no king in France anymore... but there was one in Belgium.
