You really think Disney is Racist


A few posts on this board have sparked a debate of Disney being racist I'm sure these certain people would argue the same about Nickelodeon. I don't see it. If there's something I missed enlighten me. They seem good about being diverse in their shows/movies

According to some, racist in the sense they put white actors out of a job by recasting 'white' characters as black.

It's that man again!!

The way I see it if you can do the part better than the other people going for it you should be cast regardless of Race. Although sometimes certain parts have limits nothing racist about it, just the way it was written. In this movie I saw no problems, cast did well. People just like to complain instead of just watching a movie anymore

I dread the day in forums like this when they cast a black actor as the Doctor or even a female actress!

I think Queen Leah was only turned black to make it up for making Cruella black. Neither change had any sense.

Well they wanted black characters I suppose. I don't think there were any black villains in the Disney universe. I mean they could have created Tatiana's son or daughter on the Princess/Prince side I suppose but IDK.

Not as bad as they are about refusing to let characters be gay.

Carlos is supposed to be gay but Disney wouldn't allow touching on it even with a single line or look.

They wait until things are accepted in society before giving the okay.
