About the Disney thing, I seem to remember some distinct cultural stereotypes in Lady and the Tramp. Even if Disney isn’t guilty of racism in some of their movies, they certainly do toe the line most of the time.
Great. Now I can’t get that stupid “We are Siamese if You Preez” song out of my head.
I happened to be a swinging single stuck at the fat relatives’ table at the wedding reception, by the way. What a gyp.

I noticed the change of lyrics in Aladdin the last time I saw it on TV and you can buy copies of Song of the South on the internet, it wasn’t released in the US but I’ve seen copies from Asia.
I do have to protest one small point in the article while agreeing with it on it’s major point, Sebastian was not a fun-loving party animal as the supposed Jamaican stereotype is. He was completely up-tight, didn’t want Ariel to have any adventures and only sang the rollicking “Under the Sea” to keep her at home with her father.
