Aladdin Animated Racism-
Does it make sense that one of the most racist Disney films is the most financially successful? I find this sad. The opening song is bashing the heritage of as many Arabs as there are people in the U.S. If I were Disney, I would not want to aggravate that many people.
Also, the video is in the stereotypical desert castle setting, with poverty, thieves, harem girls, and sketchy looking vendors. What a great way to portray a culture.
And why are all the Arab soldiers in the movie lacking a sense of justice? When the princess takes an apple and gives it to a starving child, a soldier tries to cut off her hand. When Aladdin cuts in, the soldier screams something about taking his head for a trophy. Again, why has Disney chosen to show Arabs this way? For entertainment.
