This one's building up steam. I have to wonder how bad something has to be before somebody finally check's this asshole.

No interest in how this happened I see?

Accents are not looks. If Unheard Of had written pay particular attention to how the characters sound then that would be different, but the...

Is anybody else getting bored with this whole debate on the basis of identity politics? I mean, orientalism was mentioned a few posts up like it was...

Think your response was at the same time as my edit - we mention the same thing ...

Aladdin and Jasmine were portrayed as much more western than the guards, merchants, regular citizens etc, who were conceived of as generic swarthy...

I'm with Rand, I'm struggling to see any conclusions that can be drawn from the colour of the characters - heroes & villains - in Disney's Aladdin. ...

Well indeed. Its cartoony, but then its a cartoon. Its also a bit dated, but then its not new either. If the point being made was that the villain...

I think there's a lot of grey to be applied in any discussion about Aladdin. The source material is Arabic which makes it ridiculous to say that the...

You too. There's nothing racially odd about the way Jafar is drawn compared to either the good characters or compared to other villains. If...

You are entitled to your point of view. Goodbye.

What are you talking about? Maybe I'm being too innocent about this but I don't see anything majorly shocking here? Jafar looks like a suave...

I think that's beyond doubt now lewk.

Iago is a bird. Jafah is cool and looks suave, he's my all-time favourite villain along with Jeremy Irons* as Scar. Disney Villains can be the...

Aladdin is a racist caricature? It was my favourite Disney movie growing up and I never thought I was racist for enjoying it, nor have I ever thought...

Germany, for one. Conservatism in most of the west is no longer principled, and has become increasingly dominated by authoritarianism, xenophobia and...

What countries conservatives do you view as a beacon of "non-gross"

There's no need to overcomplicate this. What you're doing in these situations is dressing up as a racist caricature of a minority for the short-lived...

Like with many things liberals often get into purity battles as they continue to escalate. Another example: ...

My understanding is the taboo against putting on make-up to change skin color comes from black-face entertainers in the US who used to imitate black...

I was listening to a discussion on this on the BBC and they were saying the context of this is interesting because Trudeau's Liberal Party has been...

The only media I've seen is the NYT article I referenced, and there isn't any pro-Trudeau bias in it. The article talks about who found the pic and...

Generally speaking state side, the answer is yes altering your natural skin color or appearance to appear as another race is considered racist. I...

1174321665825738752 Good. Pleasant reading through that thread watching them cry and cry that they're getting ignored.

Trudeau is a prat and I hope he loses the election but not because of antics 18 years ago he's apologised for. Still amusing to see him squirm,...
