As i mentioned all the main Disney animal characters are white. Mickey, Minnie, goofy, Donald and daisy. The only one who isn’t is a pet (Pluto). Then of the main characters only Pooh is an animal of color.
Bernard and Roo are also animals of color but are further down the Totem pole (“racist”) of Disney cinematic universe.
Is this racist?
Well Disney was just making Anthropomorphic Animal charterers in his likeness. And he just happened to be white. Idea being kids and humans relate more to those who have human attributes (see cars characters)
But in terms of now it’s not diverse and inclusive when all the main Disney characters are white. People of color are left gravitating to Pooh. While white peole still don’t notice things like this.
Do we get rid of Mickey or change his appearance? I think that’s silly.
But when you start canceling stuff like SoS then your are headed in that Direction.
It’s just virtue signalling.
There’s no reason you can’t have Splash and Tiana rides.
And the bigger issue is Disney greed which is pricing out minorities who are disproportionately poor from even going to Disney world or splash/Tiana
Waitaminute, waitaminute, waitaminute - Winnie the Pooh is not "white"? I mean, I don't think of him as having a race other than "bear," but why is it that he is an "animal of color," or am I misunderstanding you?
