Disney

                Although I am not completely sure at this point what essay I am going to write about, I am more leaning towards responding to Racism in Disney’s Animated Films by Cristina Maldonado. This essay initially caught my attention because i personally do not believe that Disney is trying to ruin the way children think about White people being the dominant race and African Americans as people with a lesser value of life. I do agree that Disney could have defiantly been a lot more culturally sensitive to our growing society, I do not feel that the extremes that poeple bring Disney into are completely correct.

            Three points that I plan to bring in my paper I believe will counter what was said in Christina’s paper. The first will be that the Disney company is not set out to brain wash children into believing that White people are the dominan trace. The second point that I plan to counter act is that Asains in Disney’s films are either cats or  squinty eyed figures that have strong asian accents. Did anyone ever watch Mulan? She was a young Chinese woman who went to war and saved her country. I do not exactly see how that could be called racist. The third point that I want to make is an overall view of Disney’s movies that are not focused on White poeple. Although there are more movies that do center around White culture there are a lot more that have a broad cultural setting; and when I do bring up This specific point I plan to focus more on the movies that were released as I was growing up, not the ones that were just released like the Princess and the Frog.

            I’m not sure that This is exactly what I want to write about because I hate attacking other peoples papers. Also, I have not yet done the proper research to support the arguments I plan to make and that could change a lot of things in my paper. If I fail to find informaition from interviews and more well respected sources I will most likely pick another topic to write about.
