There is a middle ground. Lots of people watch Shakespeare without agreeing with 17th century morals. I like the talking animals but gotta admit that the Uncle Remus book has enough uses of "the N-word" among other red flags that it shouldn't be celebrated with an E-ride. I think helping the case further is that kids don't know who Brer Rabbit is anymore, and it's hard to give them any context. Many people don't want to hand a bookful of broken English dialect and recurring a racial slur to kids who wonder what Splash Mountain is supposed to be about, and the movie's got it's own problems in addition to probably being boring.
It's sad to admit, but so much of the west side of the castle parks is steeped in cultures of white supremacy, as manifest destiny and the arrival of cowboys and the old west was not really a great time for other peoples. That doesn't mean Frontierland as a whole needs to go, but people need to think about the park and whether some things are outdated or a product of the company being driven by the vision of one white guy with a mostly white team of people.
The Simpsons just dropped white actors playing roles for non-white characters. If that standard was applied in the parks, you'd see a lot of changes. I'm surprised that Wally Boag's Jose has lasted this long.
