Racism in Disney

     If you wanna find modern racism, look no further than Disney's movies. Now I'm the biggest fan of the Mouse House (Getting a tattoo of Mickey soon!) but I do realize how they create their characters. No characters in Disney movies are similar to each other and you can distinguish 'em all which shows just how good they are and also just how racist they can be. Many of their characters are stereotypes of several cultures and they use that to make up their cast. When your little, you would never know but as you begin to look back at childhood favorites, their are many moments and characters that show stereotypes, prejudice and racism. There's a video I watched in my Sociology class in High School that definitely goes into detail on what they do.
