Thanks for the link! I covered the same topic in one of my posts a bit ago. I have to laugh at some of the comments left at the bottom of the article, "I watched Disney all my life and I'm not racist! Get a life! This is insane. I'm going to bed. You people are CRAZY".
ReplyDeleteComical, is it not?
yeah.. when you bring up things from people's childhood some tend to get pretty upset.

Obviously not everyone who has ever seen a disney cartoon movie is a racist. But, you cant deny the glaring stereotypes in almost all of thier movies. It's crazy that these are the things children are still exposed to and we still think its ok.
