The 9 Most Racist Disney Characters

[mkt]

i posted the article because i thought it was funny. considering most of these were done way back when, its nice to laugh and say "did they really do that!?"

I thought it was hysterical... unfortunately, people are too quick to take offense

Guys, don't read too much into a silly satire. If you don't see the humor, fine. If you do, fine. But let's not turn it into more than it is, OK?

Number 8 was the best... IMO... it made me laugh out loud for real....lol

#8.Sebastian from The Little Mermaid


In this 1989 film, a Jamaican-sounding crab teaches Ariel that life is better "Under the Sea," because underwater you don't have to get a job.

:lol:

Two quick thoughs about the list. Sebatian does have a job, he leads the for orchestra the Merpeople. Also in the Jungle Book Baloo the Bear doesn't have an english accent either so it is not just King Louie.
I though it was pretty funny too. I didn't know a lot of that stuff about early Fantasia.

As soon as I saw this thread I thought for sure that the sneaky duo "Si" and "Am" from Lady and the Tramp would be included. With their heavy asian accents and "squinty" eyes.

There are people out there that will look for anything that they can to claim that it is offensive to their race, religion or any other thing in their life. And the people who run around making the living of pointing out these "injustices" are the ones that keep it going along the lines that the offense goes.

I was on the T (in Boston) last Sunday when a group of four African-American youths came on the train and were talking loud enough for all in the car to hear what just happened to them at the platform we had just left. Apparently one of them was talking up to a woman and accidentally let loose with some spittle. Well, every other word out of their mouths was the N word. Now I was offended because it would be racist of me to use that word in the same context (term of endearment between to friends like buddy) yet they throw it out there like it is nothing. It is just so surprising that they (the boys) use it with such casualness and then Al Sharpton will yell racist at anyone else using the word in any form.

I'm not trying to start a fight but before leaders of groups come out and scream up other people being racist towards them let them first tell the youth that using certain words or phrases is wrong and educate the real meaning or context before you go after someone who might think it is ok to use it now as a term of endearment.

Maybe we were in the same car, but then again, I've grown accustom to that on the T.

Speaking of funny, more than a few people here have complained that the writer (HINTHINT) needs to stop overanalyzing every little minute detail. It's a good thing that nobody here is in any way guilty of that, right?
