“It’s sad that Disney has the opportunity to educate so many people and yet many of their movies, unintentionally perhaps, serve as a platform to reinforce negative stereotypes about differnet cultural groups,” Jafar lamented, while inwardly wondering whether, perhaps, a certain gold lamp he had heard about could help him solve this problem…

THIS.

ALL. OF. THIS.

THANK YOU for making this post.

you know what i never noticed that!!! oh snap!!

did any arabs do the voices because i know that aladdin was voiced by a white dude

Y’know, I really don’t see reasoning behind pointing stuff like this out. Why can’t people just sit back and enjoy Disney rather than accuse them of doing shit like this?

yeah i mean why bother to accuse racists of racism

that’s almost like accusing sexists of sexism

or criminals of crimes

i mean why would we DO that when we can just ENJOY the erasure and hurt

also the sky is green and water is yellow and clouds are made of cotton candy

Fuckin’ A+ commentary ^

y’know i thought they all looked equally arab? idk

i mean i never thought much of their designs

when i watched it as a kid i didn’t even know where it took place, i just thought of it as a movie

okay, aladdin is the hero, right?

??????? how does aladdin look american????

Okay, as much as I agree that is is WRONG for this to be happening, for their somewhat blatant racism (in some modern Disney works) and things like that, people sometimes take it too far. I grew up watching a very large portion of Disney movies and do not have racist and wacked out feminine views. I don’t think Middle-Eastern people are “bad guys”. I don’t think black people are the Jazz Crows or the orangutans in Jungle Book. I don’t feel that my value as a woman is placed on being a helpless princess waiting to be rescued, and on and on with the racist/weakling feminine ploys in Disney movies. Environment does have  a factor, but good parenting and instilling culture and values are more powerful than subliminal cartoon racism.

All I know is that when I watched Disney I focused on the straightforward good messages it sent. Good triumphs evil, respect the planet, follow your dreams, all that sappy jazz.

I never caught any of this subliminal shit people go on about.

Calm your tits people. It’s Disney.
