Characters: Myself, MCU
*Action*
MCU: Did you ever think that those classic Disney movies were racist or sexist?
Me: No, not really. I hadn't thought about it.
MCU: A co-worker of mine and I started talking about it today. Does it bother you that the hero is always some dashing, charming white guy?
Me: No. I mean, he's just a character in a story; a place holder.
MCU: A lot of communities have tried to sue Disney for what they believe is misrepresentation of their race or culture. Like the Arab community for Aladdin, or the Chinese for Mulan.
Me: Yeah, I also remember hearing some of the families whom Remember the Titans is based on tried to sue Disney.
MCU: Yeah.
Me: I wonder if Lego has ever tried to sue The Simpsons for misrepresentation of Yellow people?
MCU: You're a dork. [laughs]
