It starts on 1:00

In later versions of fantasia the much uglier nail-polishing centaur has been made white and Disney has been pretending that it was never black in the first place.

Let's see, Fantasia was made in 1940, aaaaand the Civil Rights Movement was mainly in the 60's. Damn it, those racist bastards!

While i don't give a shit about racism in classic entertainment, I have to say that you're straight up I'm a edgy teen. How does fantasia being pre-civil rights movement make it not racist?

[Plug Clock]

I'm surprised they animated naked centaur wemenz.

maybe it's racist, but it's hardly scandalous.
It's nothing that has to be pointed out now.

It's only racist if you perceive it as racist.

Pretty sure a black person can do those things. If you think that is racist, then you are the racist one.

[Slurpee]

what planet do you live on where racism means depicting somebody doing something that their race isn't capable of doing?

racism is the belief that all (or most) members of a race (which btw is a social construct so it doesn't even make any logical sense to classify shit that way) possess characteristics specific to that race (usually as to distinguish it as inherently superior or inferior to another.)

the zebra chicks near the end are debatable, but sunflower? the cartoon of a dimwitted, subservient black character with big lips surrounded by more rounded, more realistic depictions of white characters that appears about a minute in? that's racist. there aren't two ways about it. it's playing up an old minstrel stereotype. racial stereotypes are racist. one equals one.

it was considered okay back then, but that doesn't make it not racist, and neither does trying to change what makes something racist (you stupid fucking shit posters.)

I'm not saying it's not racist, I'm just saying that it was commonplace in the 1940's.

itt definition of stereotype

Surely there are dozens of old Disney cartoons that are racist? Why does this one warrant special mention?

They are those little gems you find in animation, the others get special mention too.
It is this ones time.
