Disney

Dear Disney,

I have always been a huge fan of Disney movies dating all the way back to Aladdin and throughout my younger years remember waiting in line for other movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, and even Mulan, but it took till I was an adult really to understand what takes part during these movies. As a class activity, I examined these movies more closely, especially the songs sung during the movie and found many, if not all, were extremely racist and had hundreds of stereotypes evident in them. As a child I sang these same exact songs and constantly got them stuck in my parent's heads, but it took till now for me to understand what I was saying and how wrong these lyrics really are.
