Oh, Disney, did you really expect there wouldn't be backlash from this?

... I remember when people used to talk about America being a cultural melting pot like it was a good thing. Then it was "multiculturalism," then "mixing bowl," and now here we are with creating a signature phrase in another language or offering recipes adapted from some other ethnicity to local tastes is cultural misappropriation.

From what I read in the article, the issue isn't "creating a signature phrase in another language", it's "taking a pre-existing signature phrase in another language and making money off it without asking first".

I'd say that "missing the good old days" makes me feel old, but really in this case it just makes me feel sane. If we'd stayed more of a melting pot maybe there'd be less gaping divisions in our society and politics.

Canada has been multicultural instead of being a melting pot since Day 1, and we don't have anywhere near the political polarization that the USA has.
