Trader Sam is a racist caricature. I support removing the animatronic from the ride. The Jungle Cruise can – and should – be anti-racist. But here’s the issue: the Disney Parks have nearly no characters of color. And now they are literally removing an indigenous man from the stage… and replacing him with a gift shop. Rainbow capitalism =/= representation. Disney should be telling more stories of color – stories that actually feature characters of color – in their theme parks. Disappointing. Cowardly. Ah, well. Maybe I’ll appreciate this new scene, once I see it in person. -- source link
