Does this remind you of black racism in Africa?


Look: predators (i.e. white minority) once was in charge, but gradually granting more rights to black people. But then, instead of equal society, it turns to be black majority in charge, while former rulers are throwing out of places.

You are thinking too narrowly. Most fairy tales and stories like this arise from the long human history of those in power bullying those who are weaker, and often the bullies are eventually overthrown by the persistence of those who want to do the right thing. Look more broadly at all of history, not just one example in one country.

I totally agree that this *beep* happens all over the place and time, but I just was suspecting, that not a lot of viewers would think about African "liberation")

I see we frequent the same movie threads.

Lmfao... I thought it was about stereotypes and racism in American society. If you look up Anges Chan, NYPD first Asian American female officer, might have you speculate that Judy Hopps was based off of her. As you see rabits had a rep too but it didn't hold a negative stigma as the foxes. The foxes could well be African American or any brown hue American.

It is probably even how Homo Sapiens viewed Neanderthals all those centuries ago.

It didn't remind me of anything in Africa since I don't know what it's like there. However, seeing your post made me realize that it isn't necessarily *just* about America (where I live). Interesting thought: I guess people read what they see around them into it... or they just like talking animal movies.

This is why I don't like coming to IMDB. It's a cesspool of morons like you.

It could be, like when she says "Oh you can't call a bunny cute, its okay when a bunny calls another bunny cute but..." or something like that, I was thinking about when people say *beep* and people get super upset and say they can only call each other that, BUT I may be wrong. Like when Jackie Chan says it in Rush Hour at the bar bc he didn'tknow he couldn't...😁😬

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.
