The movie definitely had an underlying tone of discrimination and how the media is using racism to split society. It's a smal joke but at one point early on the fat cheetah calls the bunny cute. The bunny responds saying, "no offense but only bunnies can call other bunnies cute, it's just our thing"

You way overthink things. Especially in a kids movie. Predatory animals = black and prey animals = white? Wow. Or maybe they were just talking about how animals are in the real world and there are real predatory animals that prey on other animals.

The whole predator and prey thing in the movie felt like it had racial under tones to the story.
It was very blatantly giving attention to current race relations. Its no coincidence they used the 10% vs. 90% references...
In the US the demographics breakdown...
12.2% African American
87.8% everyone else.....
Round those numbers.
From wikipedia if you dont believe me...
I don't understand how the bunny cop did anything wrong with her assessment that it was "biological" that made the predators go crazy. She wasn't jumping to conclusions...they weren't finished with the investigation either...so why was that so wrong? It was a theory, now test the theory. That whole part was off...
And the whole innocent white sheep as the antagonist?
I enjoyed the movie, but the PC agenda was more than obvious.

It was just against racism at large. The predators were the good guys? Really? The fox is initially a dick, the lion mayor is a smug dick, and the polar bears are all mobsters. In fact, everyone was kinda racist and judgmental towards everyone.
I'd say its completely anti-PC. The antagonists were people who felt victimized and thus felt they were justified on being racist against everyone else and staging a coup against the innocent. Does this ring a bell with the Mizzou situation? So no, the movie calls out all sides on being biased judgmental assholes. The message of the movie is to not judge people simply on appearances, and that's it. Unless you're a racist, then the message shouldn't be offensive.

Little Mermaid was definitely about racism.

Did you just read that on Reddit and come post it on here.

My wife mentioned this as well. One issue with this thought is that the police was all predators minus one.
Now show me a police force that is 99.99% "predator" in real life.
