Protesting funerals (which I find abhorrent, btw) by the tiny Westboro Baptist Church can hardly be compared to murder and the other horrific atrocities carried out in the name of Islam by radical Islamic groups throughout the WORLD! Is there ANY country that has not be terrorized by Muslim extremism?

...Anyway.





Most films have some kind of problematic narrative/devices, but I'm not entirely sure that makes them "politically incorrect movies". Maybe Pocahontas.

I came across this cartoon and was reminded of this thread.

Yes, the cartoon itself is a perfect example on political correctness.

And regarding another post; I didn't see anything wrong with the Uncle Remus character. If you had used a white actor in the same role, I doubt anybody would have lifted an eyebrow.

About smoking; the only exception I can think of, is the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland.

Ironic because Pocahontas often gets accused of suffering from being too politically correct.

One thing I loved about the animated Aladdin over the new live-action one is that the animated one never tries to be too politically correct, beyond the lyric change in the opening song which I'm glad was modified.

Strangely, I would consider Mulan to not be politically correct but after reading some posts, I might have to reconsider. This especially reminded me of what thedisneyspirit said she feared Gigantic would have turned out to be.

Like… imagine if Disney made a ‘traditional tale!’ movie about those sexist Latino and African men and how girls need to defy their sexist fathers to modernize those backwards cultures. That doesn’t happen because there’s enough Latino and Black Americans to not watch such films, and the White American Hollywhites that make it happen have enough Black and Latino friends to go “Hey man that’s f’ed up, you don’t treat your old timey Europe stories like this”.
