Disney movies are generally racist as shit, but the problem has lessened with time.
When it comes to stuff like Toy Story, I'd be hard pressed to find any racist undertones, and I never got that vibe off Up (although I haven't seen it, and thus cannot pass judgement,) but it takes a quick glance at The Lion King and I'm immediately sickened.

He was also anti-union, anti-women, anti-sematic, didn't credit people for work, paid stupidly smal amounts (can you tell ehat I do for a living?) etc etc etc.HuntrRose said:
On topic, calling UP racist is ludicrous. If Doug had black fur instead of being a goldren retriever I could MAYBE see a point. Wasn't the kid chinese anyway?
Sorry to say, but from growing up near Detroit and spending a few years in a 95% black school, I can honestly say a lot of black people go out of their way to claim stuff is racist when its clearly not.
For instance, in my hometown, the black community wanted to name a road "Martin Luther King jr road" but there was already a street named that just a couple miles away in the same town. But they cried racism and said he hated black people. They threatened to get the Mayor fired for being racist if he didn't do what they wanted, so he resigned instead of dealing with the problem.
Another example is at my job, we have around 6 black men and women working there. This one black guy, Brian, is a huge screw up, is a lazy moron, and can't do the simplest task right. When anyone confronts him about him messing up, he yells that they're racist and threatens to report them to the corporate office.
As a Native American, I know white people aren't incapable of racist stuff, but this isn't the '60s anymore. I wish everyone would stop playing the racist card and live their damn lives

Haha that gave me a good larf. The only point he has is that Disney for the longest time did ignore black people. There are more white people in America than black so it makes financial sense to have white protagonists. I'm not for a minute saying this is right, I believe we should have more diversity in our children's films.
As has been said before, this guy's the racist, seeing persecution everywhere, ragging on white people, seeming to protest at the inclusion of a diverse range of skin tones in the secondary characters :/ Just some troll, there's people everywhere that'll say anything to rile people.
So, you fell for this troll so thoroughly that giving him attention on the site where he posted wasn't enough, you actually started a whole thread giving this troll more attention on a different site entirely. There is no racism in the movie. I know that, everyone else here knows that, and renegade419 also knows that. He was a troll, and you got trolled by him.
I have nothing more to say on the topic, but will provide you in leaving with this simple piece of advice: in the future, don't feed the troll.

Obvious troll is obvious. (Not the OP, mind, but the person he's quoting.) Look hard enough and you can find whatever you want. Shrug it off for the absurdity it is.
