I watched it a few weeks ago and thought and still think the monkeys were monkeys.

But this attack on red headed, freckle faces will always be allowed...



Not a Disney character, but I am sure there are plenty of white stereotypes they mock. I seem to recall hill billies and other disparaging white characters. Disney sucks.

Anyone remember those old school cartoons they used to run back in the day...some of were from the 40's and had the buck toothed Jap...or the Tom and Jerry's with the the blackface maid or Uncle Tom.

Those were racist a.f. and hilarious too



There’s a whole collection of forbidden cartoons from the WWII era that you can get on DVD.

Louis Prima was 100% Sicilian ancestry, born in New Orleans.

He was a swinging jazz cat.

Peter Pan is racist as frick . The song What Makes the Redman Red would never be allowed now a days.

Also Tinkerbell is a straight up murdering little jealous bitch “Shoot the Wendy Bird”

Still a great Disney movie though

And in television they just announced that there will be less sex and violence on new shows. Not because sex and violence are bad for children. It's because of Covid. The actors have to get very close to each other if their having romance or fighting.

Worst I saw was an old Betty Boop cartoon. She was riding on the back of a bike flying with a helicopter blade rigged to it. It was being pedaled by a black guy. She motivated him to keep pedaling by holding a fishing rod over his head and dangling a banana in front of his face.

I love this. Anyone who is mad at Disney for this is a dummy. Instead of pulling the movies and not letting people watch them, they did the right thing. Bravo, Disney.

Here's the stupid part... the crows in Dumbo are animals, not depictions of people. It's racist to assume those crows represent people of "colour".

Continuing to sell racist movies for profit is the right thing?
