Disturbingly Racist Moments in Cartoons

The point of our video is not to promote racism or to make fun of this issue, but to show how pervasive and institutionalized racism was in our culture just a short time ago.

[@la-ariemartinez3184]

John Exum I get what you are saying but it’s not that people are born to be racist. The evolutionary defense mechanism you’re referring to is there to have the brain automatically group things into categories in order for fast identification of safe things and dangerous things. It leads to you knowing how to specify what berries are good and what to look out for if they can be bad. This trait incidentally can spark racism but not cause it. It’s just an old but technically still potentially useful biological trait that in a entirely different setting from its development can be misused.

[@la-ariemartinez3184]

John Exum Well now that you say it like that yes I can see it working in that way to some capacity. However I feel racism wouldn’t solve that issue. So though the mechanisms may work in this way to identify a problem, racism isn’t the solution to it. Perhaps working to better understand why the issue is occurring and avoiding it or resolving it is best.

[@la-ariemartinez3184]

@John Exum Over all I don’t agree with what you are saying. There is always going to be conflict it, could be between entirely species! I don’t see how this directly means multiculturalism is what leads to conflict, rather conflict is always present no matter the color, race, or species. Yes multiculturalism probably does benefit some people more then others. Yes I do not think racism can be eliminated but at least mitigated and minimized. Segregation would not do either it it would simply mask and ignore it as well as further encourage it. “White” is a very loose term. Depending on who’s in favor and more powerful they are the ones who make the determination. At one point the Irish, Italians, Germans, weren’t considered white, today we wouldn’t blink an eye at that. The entire European continent is more diverse then we classify it in modern times under blanket terms. I think the European continent is a example of multiculturalism can work, but as I said previously there is always conflict it has a lot more factors then just race.

I loved Crows, when I was a kid. 😢 They were second characters on a movie who treated Dumbo kindly (mocking him first, but showing kindness later) and looked past his disability. I've always thought that everyone treated Dumbo poorly not only because of his ears, but because of his kind nature, because he couldn't protect himself and was mute. No one stood for him apart of that small mouse, that couldn't do anything to protect him, just console him. I've always had impression that the crows were non-judgemental, supporting and very inspirational towards Dumbo. Probably, bc he was outcast for everyone like they were at that time. To me now their short friendship is a symbol of empathy and kindness even in the worst situations, when no one wants you. ❤

Honestly, she was my favourite character. I thought she was the owner and I frickin loved her so much.

A lot of the companies who produced these cartoons would like to act that they never did this and hide these cartoons away. Warner Bros. had a very responsible approach that they did with their Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVDs - they had a disclaimer before the menu that acknowledged the stereotypes and said that they were wrong then and are wrong now, but to hide them away was akin to saying that they never happened, and that was just as wrong. I think that these instances can be good teaching moments for kids who may be watching with their parents. Ask them what they think about it. Ask them how it makes them feel.

The crows are interesting case. They are ever so slightly more subtle than some of these others. And, i think if we are completely honest with ourselves, we have to admit that while they are indeed racial caricatures, they aren't the most unkind variety of caricature compared to so many others. Disney long resisted editing that scene in the way they have so many of their others with racial caricatures in them. The piccaninnies in Fantasia were completely removed, for instance. Unfortunately for the Disney Company, it is hard to imagine that movie without the crows. But I've never been sold on the idea of cleaning up the past by editing this stuff out anyways. We don't remove the slave quarters from Washington's home so as to make it "family friendly" do we? We don't erase the slaves from old photographs of plantations so we can show them to our children without upsetting them. We don't remove the bridge in Selma Alabama because police beatings of black people fighting for their rights happened there? Why should Disney get to clean away its filth like it never happened?
