One of them still has a white character, surprisingly

This is laughable. Everything doesn’t have to have everything
If they do a Pocahontas remake, they'll make John Smith black which will be the only reason why he won't be a villain.
Part of me wants to laugh but I wouldn’t put it past them. I mean there was the idiotic Anne Boyelin show
I'm not even joking, at all. Look:
They can't make a literal white colonizer a good guy in current year. Their own cultivated audience would burn down the Disney parks, literally.
They also can't have a blonde, blue-eyed MAN stealing not only land but even a woman-of-almost-color as a protagonist, even if it's not as bad as 1, but it's add to that and makes it even worse for current year.
They can either make him black (you know there are no other races, uncless it's Mulan where everyone is Asian and there are no black people), or change the story entirely and make it about Kocoum where he kills all the English and wins back his disney princess gf. (Think their live-action remake-reboot-prequel things Maleficent and Cruella, and Kocoum wasn't even that much of a villain to begin with, the real villain was the physically ugly Ratcliffe.)
Either this or that, they just can't do it otherwise.
Dang when you break it down like that you are right
