Walt Disney has been the controversy
concering rasism within the Disney film, people say this is because walt Disney
the man himself was a racist himself so this was also shown within his work
Disney Princess and the frog
In disneys film
the princess and the frog has been labeled as rasict not just the movie itself
but also the products that are being sold within the market, Disney then went
on to make some candy in the United States that caused more suspision of rasism
as they went and put the black princess flavour as “watermelon’ and then
putting the white princess on the ‘vanilla’ flavour
Watermelon stereotype
began in America in the 19th century and still to this day in the 21st
century it is still an American sterotype of African americans
When Tiana(the black princess) kisses the frog instead of him turning into a prince she turns into a frog herself which they then go & set out to find a voodoo specialist which is also another subliminal message
theres was another problem within the film 'The Princess and The Frog' the straight fact that the prince was a white male & not a black male, so the argument made is that a black male should of been the prince the messages behind this is that black love is not possible or even if thats not the case then the fact that it wouldnt be aloud to be shown on television but the main things is to say that a black male could never become a prince himself
the UK have race relations act 1976 was to stop the race discrimination in a work place/film.
.
The Race Relations Act 1976
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is of civil rights legislation in the country of United States the outlawed major forms of discrimination against racial, ethnic, national and religious minorities, and women.
