The story I heard, and I don't know how true it is, but it's that Walt Disney the man grew up in the south around many blacks, and that's where he got the ideas that he put in there. Rather than being some hateful attack on blacks, it's a representation of a culture that existed at the time.

Something's been bothering me for a while: when something is represented basically accurately, it's called racist. The only "not racist" thing is to have every person from another culture act like they've been living in Southern California for the past 4 generations.

It seems to me that for all the talk of "white supremacy" in every other facet of all societies around the world, when it comes to mass media centered around Southern California, people of every race, creed, and color are only allowed to act exactly like white Californians or face erasure. Even "ethnic representation" seems to just end up being white people dipped in different strengths of tea. You have to talk like they do, act like they do, think like they do, agree with all their political opinions, and then and only then are you allowed to be "representation" in media.

But hey, I'm just a redneck from northern Canada, so what do I know?

lol so much for that hypothesis then!
